Annual Report 2007

Our Mission

Often the best part of extraordinary achievements is the fascinating story about a vision

realized. This report tells such a story about the Museum of Science as it becomes the

science and technology center of the 21st century. Major progress toward achieving our

strategic vision made fiscal year 2007 one of the most exciting in our history.

Audiences responded enthusiastically to the Museum’s life science offerings,

illustrating the institution’s sensitivity to the topics that visitors want to explore. The

temporary exhibition, Body Worlds 2: The Anatomical Exhibition of real Human

Bodies, produced five of the ten busiest days in Museum history. Meanwhile, a generous

grant from The Catalyst Institute set in motion development of the Hall of Human life,

a state-of-the-art exhibit on human biology.

Engineering and technology education produced dramatic results, too. The National

Center for Technological Literacy® (NCTL®) entered two national textbook publishing

partnerships and is active in 39 states. And we recognized our responsibility to deal

with technology’s impact on the environment: we declared our goal to be leaders in

applying science and technology responsibly by instituting a sustainability policy to

minimize our impact on natural resources.

Thanks to engineering innovator Bernard Gordon and his wife Sophia, we began

developing a new engineering exhibit and constructed the Sophia and Bernard M.

Gordon Wing, NCTL’s new headquarters. Their gift—the largest in Museum history—

extended to the Gordon Current science & Technology Center, which was rededicated in

a warm celebration.

Other philanthropists are recognizing the Museum’s value: the Annual Fund is at its

highest level ever, as is endowment—which exceeded $100 million for the first time.

Memberships surpassed 51,000, a record high. All told, the Museum enjoyed its most

financially successful year in history, including the reversal of a five-year decline in

school visits.

In the midst of these remarkable achievements was a solemn time as we lost founding

director Bradford Washburn, who transformed this Museum into a beloved institution.

We honored his memory with Colossal, an exhibition of his large-format photographs,

and the establishment of the Bradford and Barbara Washburn Discovery Fund. We

will extend his legacy by building an innovative science and technology destination to

future generations. Part of our story of transformation unfolds in the following pages.

Keeping up with today’s constant rate

of technological innovation can be

a challenge. As a result, many find

technology bewildering. Yet because of

technology’s pervasiveness in our lives,

technological literacy is an educational

imperative. As a nation, we must

ensure our continued world leadership

by drawing more students to careers in science, technology, and engineering.

As global citizens we must reckon with our potentially devastating impact on

the environment. Earth’s ability to support life relies on citizens making sound

decisions about how we use technologies. NCTL enhances people’s knowledge of

technology nationwide by introducing engineering as a school discipline and by

presenting technology education in museums as being equal to science education.

The Museum’s approach for realizing its vision for informal technology education

is guided by six major themes: What is technology? What’s going on in technology

today? How are technologies developed? How can I use technologies to do useful

and creative things? How do technology, the environment, and society affect each

other? How can we make good decisions about using technologies? As our world

transforms, the Museum faces the challenge to become a more dynamic community

member. Harnessing our power to gather people, we will emerge as a catalyst

of conversations that stimulate thought and call our fellow citizens to action.

Face-to-face with Science and Technology

An active participant in civic life, the Museum of Science is a center for public conversations about science

and technology in individual and collective experience. Forums and lectures bring audiences face-to-face

with current science and technology issues. Are our children spending too much time with computers? How do

developments in nanotechnology affect privacy and security? What’s your preferred method of transportation—and

at what cost to the environment? In the past year, forums addressed questions like these to illustrate our

complex relationship with technology. Meanwhile, ongoing adult-themed lectures feature noted scientists

and writers with unique viewpoints on science and technology.

Last year, human impact on the environment

was a frequent subject: New yorker writer

Elizabeth Kolbert discussed her book on

climate change, and Kevin Knobloch of the

Union of Concerned Scientists spoke before a

screening of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

Beyond current events, lecture series such as

science on screen and When science Meets Art

explore the intersection of science and culture.

Forum discussions illustrate our complex relationship with technology.

Suzanne and John F. Reno

John F. and Suzanne Reno have been visionary Museum leaders for more than 30 years. Mr. Reno has served as an overseer, board chairman, and continuously as a trustee since 1992.

With foresight, the couple are shaping the Museum’s future through their funding of the Reno Family Foundation Symposia. Inspired by the Lowell Institute lectures, the Reno series connects the Museum’s adult audience with respected leaders in science and technology.

“The Museum should facilitate real discussions on advances in any related field,” says Mr. Reno. “We can successfully address controversial subjects,” he adds, “by presenting the facts without taking a position.”

Thinking Differently

As director of content development and program

manager for Engineering Is Elementary, NCTL’s

engineering curriculum development program

for grades 1 - 5, Kate Hester is helping to define an

emerging field. Teaching engineering in classrooms

encourages educators to think differently, says the

former science teacher. Beyond informing students,

teachers are cultivating critical thinking in young

minds, empowering them to solve problems and

use technology responsibly.

A balanced view of engineering, Hester believes,

“includes fostering awareness of both its benefits

and its unintended consequences.” Her next

project will explore how engineers today improve

upon their predecessors’ innovations, making them

more environmentally sustainable.

High-school junior Josh Leung has also ventured

outside the classroom. He’s spent the past two

summers as an electronics components intern

at Cahners ComputerPlace. This year, Leung

designed a hands-on activity teaching visitors

about Boolean logic.

Leung believes the Museum’s informal setting

offers lasting educational value—for both himself

and visitors. “By encouraging self-motivated

learning,” he observes, “the Museum fosters a

lifelong learning ethic.”

Joy Lucas

Overseer and philanthropist Joy Lucas sees her relationship with the Museum of Science as mutually rewarding. “It feels like a partnership,” she notes, “because of the support and education the Museum provides members of its community.”

Joy’s service on the board has led her to learn about the scope and depth of the Museum’s activities. Using a grass-roots approach, she serves as a kind of evangelist for the Museum. She has invited friends to see its work and share in her enthusiasm. Joy is especially impressed with NCTL’s curriculum development work, and shows NCTL-produced textbooks to her children’s teachers and librarians.

“It’s important to get the word out about the Museum’s formal curriculum development efforts,” she says.

Susan M. Crosby Business Unit Controller, Civic Council Leader Cisco Systems, Inc.

Through its Civic Council, network management provider Cisco Systems, Inc. is a founding supporter of NCTL’s curriculum development program. The company has funded online professional tools for educators who use Engineering Is Elementary and Engineering the Future. Online courses and forums for teachers have created a community of passionate educators who exchange ideas and support to establish engineering curricula in schools.

NCTL’s potential to bring technology education to a wide audience drew Cisco’s philanthropy. “There’s a real need for engineering education, especially in grades K-12,” says Civic Council leader Susan M. Crosby. “NCTL fills that gap.”

The Center has partnerships with policymakers and

educators in Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina,

New Jersey, and Texas. In Massachusetts, NCTL’s

Gateway project connects leaders of 53 school districts

to exchange ideas for implementing technology and

engineering standards. Meanwhile, NCTL develops

curricular materials for all grade levels, beginning with

Engineering Is Elementary. The storybook series for

grades 1 - 5 feature international characters who tackle

engineering challenges. Of the 20 books planned, 9 are

currently available.

Building Math shows middle-school students the role

of math in technology design. The series is produced by

Walch Publishing, one of two publishing partnerships

NCTL arranged in 2007. Engineering the Future®,

a full-year engineering and technology course for

Breaking with Tradition

Emily Bottis joined the Museum in 2005 to

explore informal science and technology education.

As director of interactive media, she’s constantly

exploring ways to extend the Museum’s reach

through technology.

One example is the Museum’s new website, where

visitors can access podcasts, videocasts, and virtual

exhibits. Online educational games are among

more interactive media in development.

Technology also extends to the total visitor

experience. Logistical tools like the online trip

planner enhance convenience, allowing visitors

to focus on the Museum’s exhibits and programs.

“Technology should enable our mission,”

says Bottis.

Lydia Beall also came to the Museum with an

interest in informal technology education. Trained

in chemical engineering and museum education,

the project manager of the design Challenges

program proves that engineering education isn’t

just for career engineers. Her work shows how to

apply the same problem-solving skills engineers

use in everyday situations.

Beall is especially sensitive to different learning

styles to develop presentations that engage all

audiences. Presenting challenges as gender-

neutral scenarios in non-traditional settings

further demystifies engineering.

Technology should enable our mission.”“

Eugene Record Jr.

Like many Boston natives, Eugene (Gene) Record Jr.’s affection for the Museum of Science began during childhood visits. As a physician’s son, he developed a fascination with medicine and the human body, demonstrated today by his support of the development of the Hall of Human Life. This cutting-edge exhibit on human biology will explore technology’s impact on human life. “Technology has opened the door to the mysteries of the body,” Gene notes.

After 25 years of involvement with the Museum, Gene remains an enthusiastic visitor. “The Museum recharges my curiosity about what’s happening in the world today,” he says. Unlike other museums, he adds: “this Museum is about the future, not the past.”innovate

Better Learning through Technology

Innovation today often includes bells and whistles. But

the best technology, however flashy, aids our endeavors

and improves our experiences. Through Technology for

the Visitor, the Museum will use technology to enhance

the visitor experience. Showcasing emergent technology

is a priority—provided it enhances an aspect of the

visitor experience, whether through educational value or

customer convenience.

This new initiative is about technology in action. Virtually

every aspect of the Museum is a candidate for a tech makeover,

from new signage to major exhibit areas like the discovery

Center. Technology will also enrich all topics, from life science

to engineering. Besides enhancing existing Museum offerings,

Technology for the Visitor also includes new innovations.

Visions for the future include multi-purpose kiosks where

visitors can download digital-media tours, see personalized

exhibit recommendations, and even get help finding their way

around the Museum. The ongoing initiative opens the way

to bolder ideas further into the future, including immersive

environments, simulations, and games—some flashy, but all

enabling science and technology education.

The Creative Thrill

The “creative thrill of designing something that solves a real

human problem and that people use,” William A. Wulf told the

New york Times in 2007, “[is] addictive.”

The outgoing president of the National Academy of Engineering

might have been describing Creativity Workshop, a new permanent

exhibit in development. Here visitors will learn about the

engineering design process by inventing things themselves.

This exhibit challenges the view that technology and engineering

are impenetrable and perplexing through three main:

n “Art and Technology” will display kinetic sculpture and

document the artist’s process. Here visitors can also create their

own kinetic sculptures.

n “Creative Thinking Tools and Techniques” will introduce

visitors to the thought processes applied in technology design.

n “Making It Work” will provide various settings for

experimentation. This area will also house the popular design

Challenges, in which visitors experience the engineering design

cycle, from design to testing, to solve a given problem. As Creativity

Workshop shows, that “creative thrill” isn’t just for the pros.

The creative thrill of designing solutions isn’t just for the pros.

Bernard M. and Sophia Gordon

Fueled by their belief in the Museum’s goal to inspire young people to choose engineering careers, Sophia and Bernard M. Gordon made the largest gift in the institution’s history through the Gordon Foundation. Much of the work highlighted in the preceding pages owes directly to this gift.

NCTL’s new headquarters, the development of Creativity Workshop, and the new exhibit Innovative Engineers were also made possible by the Gordons. Bernard, himself an engineer, founder of Analogic, and cofounder Neurologica, is especially committed to inspiring the engineers of tomorrow.

“Engineering is a very rewarding profession,” says Bernard. “The Museum can do a lot to demonstrate that to young people.”

Results from OperationsFiscal year 2007 (July 1, 2006 – June 30, 2007) was out-

standing for the Museum. Operating results generated

$4.3 million to allocate toward investments in information

technology infrastructure, deferred maintenance needs,

and the critical replenishment of operating reserves

used to fund the campaign and other initiatives. The

enormously successful Body Worlds 2 exhibit led the

positive outcome, drawing 554,000 visitors from July 29 –Jan-

uary 7, second only to ramesses the Great (700,000

visitors from May to August, 1988). Body Worlds 2 set

numerous Museum attendance marks including a single

day of over 21,000 visitors, nine of the top ten attended

days in Museum history; and four monthly records. Overall

Museum fiscal year attendance of 1,973,000 was the sec-

ond highest ever, 21% ahead of the prior year. Fortunately,

the Museum did not suffer the normal post-blockbuster

drop in attendance (15% – 20%) that can occur after an

exhibit of this magnitude. In fact, the attendance num-

bers were comparable to their corresponding historical

averages and reflect the momentum gained from hosting

lord of the rings, star Wars, and Body Worlds 2 in

consecutive years.

Because of these impressive figures, visitor-related in-

come—admissions, Museum memberships, parking, and

net income generated from store and food operations—

totaled $23.2 million, the highest on record and 13% better

than a year ago. Also worth noting is the 12% increase in

external event and conference income to $1.6 million as a

result of an increased sales effort to book large corporate

events and the development of the social market.

In addition, it was an impressive year for fundraising. Gifts

and pledges totaled a record-setting $42 million and the

Museum’s Annual Fund set a new fiscal year mark of $2.6

million. While government grant expenditures dropped

16% from last year primarily due to the lack of a federal

line item appropriation, the $8.6 million for operating pro-

grams was nevertheless the second highest ever, generat-

ing $1.3 million in indirect cost recovery.

On the expense side, operating expenditures finished

below budget, reflecting savings from staff vacancies and

outside services.

Treasurer’s Report Fiscal 2007JOHN SLAKEY

Financial Condition

Unrestricted cash totaled $4.8 million as of June 30, an increase

of $1.3 million due to the positive operating results offset by

spending on capital projects and unfunded campaign expenses.

The market value of the endowment grew 16% and exceeded the

$100 million milestone during the year, with a value of $103.6 mil-

lion on June 30. The increase of $14.0 million from last year was

driven by additions totaling $2.1 million and net market gains of

$11.9 million. The endowment returned 17.0% net of fees for the

year. Property, plant, and equipment increased by a net of $3.2

million to $52.0 million, representing $7.9 million in additions off-

set by $4.4 million in depreciation and $0.3 million in write-offs.

Included in the additions was $4.2 million for construction of the

Gordon Wing, which houses the NCTL and is scheduled to be

completed in November 2007.

Once again, “thank you” to all who helped produce these

notable results. Our trustees, overseers, and donors provided

the inspiration and financial support to advance our strategic

initiatives. The staff’s hard work helped execute the vision and ensured

that we offered all our visitors—on-site, offsite, or online—excellent

programs and experiences. And finally, the continual dedication

of our volunteers who donated 51,000 hours of their time, the

equivalent of over 24 full time employees, was significant in helping

the Museum deliver on its mission. Together, all these efforts

generated a year of which the Museum can be proud.

Climb for Success

In a unique approach to fundraising, overseer

Michael G. Thonis challenged family and friends to

support the Museum by making a gift to the Annual

Fund if he climbed Mt. Washington twice in one day.

On July 16, Michael completed the double-climb and,

thanks to more than 100 donors, raised over $50,000

for the 2007 Annual Fund. Michael’s own connection

to the Museum began at an early age with family

visits. He looks forward to sharing this special place

with all his kind supporters. The Museum is sincerely

grateful to Michael and those who generously

contributed in honor of his remarkable feat.

Brad Washburn 1911-2007

“He built the Museum of Science.”

Bradford Washburn would have been satisfied with

an obituary containing that single sentence, he told

The Boston Globe in 2000.

In fact, the Museum’s late founding director will be

remembered for his achievements as a cartographer,

mountaineer, photographer, and pilot, as well as visionary

Museum leader. Yet these accomplishments were evidence

of a curiosity that fueled a vision for this institution and a

determination that enabled him to realize it.

Washburn transformed a small collection of natural-

history artifacts into a major science center, the first to

unite all the sciences under one roof. He was inspired by

his own love of learning. Under his 41-year leadership, the

Museum became renowned for its hands-on exhibits that

encouraged curiosity and discovery.

This year we bade farewell to this pioneering leader, yet

we continue to be inspired by him. The Museum entered

a new age under Washburn. Today it is in the process of

another metamorphosis—into a true 21st-century science

and technology center.

In addition to the work presented in the previous pages,

the Museum is taking steps toward realizing this vision

by engaging with its peers in the museum community.

Members of the staff and board have traveled to other

science centers in the United States and Europe to take

in new ideas and share the Museum’s own innovative

approach.

Brad Washburn built the Museum of Science.

We will extend his legacy by building the science and

technology center of the 21st century.
