CONTRIBUTED COLLECTION ITEMS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS OR INSURANCE RECOVERIES ARE REFLECTED AS INCREASES IN NET ASSETS. THERE WERE NO SALES OF COLLECTION ITEMS IN 2012. DURING 2011, THE MUSEUM SOLD COLLECTION ITEMS FOR $3,825,000. IN ACCORDANCE WITH MUSEUM POLICY, THE PROCEEDS WILL BE USED FOR FUTURE COLLECTION ACQUISITION OR COLLECTION CARE.
