Garden programs attracted 6,231 participants at 90 programs and events. Winterthur gave approximately 50,000 guided garden tours. Winterthur welcomed new and returning visitors through the presentation of four academic conferences, an intensive two week study program, lecture series on decorative arts, Tiffany Glass, life in the American and English country house, costume history, garden topics, and lectures associated with the Made in the Americas exhibition. There were also a variety of collection study workshops. There were 58 adult programs with an attendance of 7,652. There were also weekly family programs. This year musical performances had over 1,750 people attending. Nearly 4,500 members of the community learned about Winterthur through staff lectures at other institutions and special programs.Winterthur's strong exhibition program continued featuring both scholarly and general audience topics. Special exhibitions focused on Pennsylvania German culture and objects; Tiffany glass; Asian influence on North and South American decorative arts; needlework and embroidery; and the prints of Currier & Ives. Accompanying the exhibitions were an extensive lecture series, special presentations by the curators, and events featuring music and food.The institution continued to publicize all offerings locally and nationally, with an increased emphasis on electronic media and the use of social media. 10532139 762092 361602 Curatorial, Conservation, Education, Library Programs: Including Collection and Library Materials:The staff in the Collections Department continue to upgrade and improve our catalogue records and add photography to the online database; to date Winterthur has re-catalogued a total of 60,610 objects and added 157,945 digital images to the database. The museum collection, which is used for exhibition, research and teaching purposes, continues to grow with a total of 245 gifts and 29 purchases. Collections staff continue to research and publish information about the collection. During FY2016 these included several articles in Antiques and Fine Art and an essay entitled "Chairs and Chairmaking in Philadelphia: A Selective Pictorial History" by Joshua Lane, the Lois F. and Henry S. McNeil Curator of Furniture, in On the Edge of Your Seat: Chairs for the 21st Century, a catalogue to accompany the exhibition of the same name at the Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia, PA. In addition, collections staff published various smaller publications related to exhibitions, including Identifying Tropical Hardwoods in Historic American Furniture, Embroidery: The Language of Art, and Lasting Impressions: The Artists of Currier and Ives. The Boston Furniture Archive is currently in Phase II of the project and continues to add new object records to its online database. 2016 marked the third consecutive summer of field cataloging in Boston. The Archive's website is accessible through the Winterthur Library's website.This past year 16 graduate students were enrolled in the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture (administered with the University of Delaware), and 30 graduate students studied in the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. Graduates of these Master Degree programs serve in museums, historic houses, and conservation facilities in North America, Europe, and elsewhere. Additionally, Winterthur hosted 34 visiting scholars who availed themselves of the library collections to research various material culture and design topics.Charged with collection care, exhibit preparation, instruction of students in the WUDPAC program and research, outreach and professional engagement, the Conservation Department has been active in all areas.The IMLS-funded Chinese Export Lacquer Project was a major activity this year with treatment of several complex objects, planning and hosting of a symposium and workshop held October 29-30, 2015 attended by 81 people on the first day and 30 for the workshop on the second day.Outreach continued with conservation participation in Terrific Tuesdays, teacher workshops, programming for high school students, seven public conservation clinics and both public and special interest conservation tours. Over 900 people toured the conservation labs. Winterthur hosted a Mellon Foundation funded course on historic book structures for conservators as well as a leadership workshop for conservators. The Furniture Conservation Lab hosted a three month internship for two students from the CRAFT (Conservation Resources for Architectural Interiors/Furniture and Training) program of Beijing, China which was supported by the World Monuments Fund.The Conservation Department worked with the Facilities Department to continue the upgrading of the environmental conditions throughout the collections areas as an outcome of the NEH-funded Sustaining Collections project. In particular, successful collaboration between Facilities and Conservation was needed to ensure the safe exhibition of objects during the extensive work overseen by Facilities to upgrade the exterior of the Galleries building and to meet the narrow environmental parameters required for the Made in the Americas exhibition in that building. Other exhibit preparation included mounts and installation for several library case exhibits, conservation of objects for Striking Beauties: American Shelf Clocks and Time, Lasting Impressions: The Artists of Currier & Ives, Embroidery: the Language of Art as well as preparation of collections for Gallery rotations and Yuletide.The Registration Department is tasked with maintaining paper and digital records related to the museum collection. The department manages paperwork and logistics related to loans to/from Winterthur and for exhibits, accessions and deaccessions, object movement and collection inventory, and risk management. The Registration Department inventoried 16,993 objects; facilitated and documented 18,680 object moves; accessioned 282 museum objects; and managed short-term loans of 210 objects (for three exhibitions) and long-term loans of 1,099 objects to Winterthur, and short-term loans of 62 objects and long-term loans of 149 from Winterthur to other institutions. Registration staff continues to work with Winterthur's digital asset management team to improve online museum collections data. Catalog data is now available online for 88,776 museum objects.The mission of the Library is to acquire, catalog, preserve, and make its collections available to researchers and the public. During FY2016, the Library added 150 archival lots and 3,969 books and periodicals by purchase and gift; cataloged and updated 3,084 records; and lent 305 books via inter-library loan. The Library counted 940 user days in the manuscript and archive collections and 4,261 user days in the Printed Book and Periodical Collection. Staff added significantly to our electronic resources with the production of digital collections and staged three exhibitions featuring Library resources.Compact shelving now houses the Library's Decorative Arts Photographic Collection, manuscript collections, and a variety of resources from the Printed Book and Periodical Collection. The shelving furnishes enough storage space to accommodate Library growth for the foreseeable future. 3046561 Garden Program:Winterthur maintains a world-renowned 200-acre naturalistic garden that welcomes visitors from all parts of the globe. The collection of rare and historic plants includes magnolias, azaleas, minor bulbs, conifers, and specimen trees. Significant varieties in the collection are tracked or "accessioned" through a records system, which currently includes more than 7,500 accessions. In FY2016 we received an IMLS grant to digitally map and update our plant records and a Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust grant to purchase mapping equipment. We continued the restoration and enhancement of numerous garden areas including the Reflecting Pool, Enchanted Woods, and Azalea Woods. 145 trees were planted throughout the garden. Restoration of ironwork and statuary continued in the Reflecting Pool and East Terrace areas with the restoration of the roosters and bathhouse chandeliers. The Bristol Summerhouse on Sycamore Hill was also repaired.Planning began for the first exhibit to be held in the garden - Follies: Architectural Whimsy in the Garden. This exhibit will consist of six historic and seven constructed follies in the Winterthur garden. It will open April 1, 2018 with an option to run for two years. 2283368 571691 Marketing Program (Expenses $1,983,372)(Revenue $571,691):Winterthur renewed 4 existing Licensees that will broaden and deepen awareness of the institution with products tightly tied to the collection and museum offerings.

No determination can be made as to the aggregate value of such items. Winterthur records proceeds from deaccessions and disbursements for current period accessions in the statement of activity as revenue and expenditures, respectively. Proceeds from sales of collection items are limited to the acquisition of other items for collections. Winterthur employs conservation and curatorial staff to ensure that the collection is protected and preserved. Part III, Line 4: Winterthur's collection of decorative and fine arts remains one of the best in the country, and objects are displayed in 175 museum rooms and 35,000 square feet of self-guided galleries. The collections include over 90,000 objects including furniture, architecture, textiles, paintings, metals, ceramics, glass, and works of art on paper. The comprehensive research library features books, periodicals, manuscripts, visual images, and ephemera. Much of the scholarship on early American material culture has been written on the basis of research conducted at Winterthur, via both its collection of objects as well as the material found in its library. The Winterthur and University of Delaware Program in American Material Culture (WPAMC) is the country's leading graduate program in the study of American decorative arts and material life, and the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC) is one of only four graduate programs in the United States that educates and trains conservation professionals in multiple disciplines to care for our cultural heritage. Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is committed to providing an array of artistic and educational programming. Currently, we are designing exhibitions, programs, and events that utilize our rich collection materials and vast knowledge base to appeal to Winterthur's traditional visitor while encouraging the patronage of a new, diverse, and intergenerational audience. Over the years, through innovative exhibitions, programs, and events, Winterthur has become a unique national treasure, a vital community resource, and a place that engages adults and youth in entertaining and memorable experiences that are relevant to their lives. Winterthur's goal has been to interpret its collections through enticing programs that help young visitors understand people, art, and landscapes - past and present. Culture enthusiasts and families with children make up the bulk of Winterthur's general attendance, of over 126,000 in FY2016. Many of these visitors are cultural tourists and museum members who take garden tours, docent-guided gallery tours, guided period room tours, special focus tours, or partake in Winterthur's family and school programming. Winterthur offers eighteen interactive, curriculum-based and developmentally-appropriate programs for students in preschool through the 12th grade. These programs take place both at Winterthur and in school classrooms throughout the Delaware Valley as part of our school outreach program, and are often geared toward our changing exhibitions.
