Dear frienDs,The beginning of 2014 finds the Museum in the midst of an exciting period of expansion, reconstruction and revitalization. With each visit, youll notice the evolution of the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of
Art, the Root Family train car enclosure and the new Planetarium siteand soon, the rest of the West Wing.This past fall, the ceremonial last beam was placed atop the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. The outside structural work continues and soon, the internal construction will be the main focus. In the coming months, we will welcome further pieces from the Browns collection for display in our lobby. The selections focus on the history of St. Augustine and will be the second in our series of preview exhibits for the new Museum. In addition to work on the train enclosure, the careful and conscientious process of refurbishing the Root Family train cars themselves will begin shortly. This process will ensure the preservation of these popular and important pieces of the Museums collection, as will the newly enclosed, climate controlled space. The new train enclosure will also allow the Root Familys sizeable railroad collection to be exhibited alongside the railcars. Its always great fun to celebrate the railroads rich history in fact, when I arrived, it was a nice surprise to find the Great Northern Railway sign which is from a railroad that ran through my hometown in England.The construction of the new Planetarium is the initial part of the West Wing rebuild, which will start in full this coming spring. The Museum is working painstakingly to ensure our visitors and members have
access to much of the West Wing features during this reconstruction process. Planetarium shows will continue and will be held in the auditorium in the Root Family Museum. Artwork will be temporarily re-located in the North Wings Ford Gallery during this time. We are looking forward to exhibiting and highlighting pieces from each of the galleries and hope you will enjoy seeing some of your favorites in a different light.The Annual Dinner and Meeting saw the Museums new Board of Trustees installed. These dedicated volunteers continue to drive the Museum forward into a bright, innovative and modern future for both the Museum itself and the arts in our community. Their hard work is greatly appreciated and I am looking forward to the coming months and years as the Museum of Arts & Sciences continues our growth as the cultural center of the region.Even with all the future excitement, we are focused on delivering special exhibits and programming for you to enjoy now. Through February, two exhibitions including works from the MOAS Collection are highlighted in the North Wing. Great Impressions: The Intaglio Process features etching, wood and metal engraving, aquatints and lithography. Artists include Rembrandt, Piranesi, Audubon, Renoir and Dali. In addition, many pieces from the Museums comprehensive Napoleonic collection feature in Napoleon: Empire and Heritage. There is a great deal of energy around the Museum and the greater Daytona Beach area, and we are so appreciative of all the support weve received from our members and guests, as well as our community and its leaders. We thank all of you for your continued support as the Museum makes great strides to serve as the cultural heart of a community which is thriving. We look forward to sharing the Museums growth and successes with each of you and as always, we look forward to seeing you around the Museum during this New Year.
