Lindsay and the Reinvention of New York (5/4/10-10/3/10)-Cars, Culture, and the City (3/25/10-8/8/10)-An exhibition of original artworks by the legendary New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams, Charles Addams's New York (3/4/10-6/8/10) -Compellingly documenting the pockets of wild nature that endure in New York City, Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks (10/9/09-3/21/10)-In conjunction with Legacy, the Museum mounted Within the Woods: Landscape Drawings by Mary Reilly (10/9/09-11/1/09).-Samurai in New York: The First Delegation, 1860 (6/25/10-11/7/10)-During FY2010 the Museum also presented six smaller exhibitions drawing on our outstanding collections of paintings, photographs, and printed ephemera. 2048496 182626 Collections CareThe Museum's new curatorial and collections storage center became entirely operational in FY2010, elevating the level of on-site stewardship we can provide to the photographs, negatives, works on paper, costumes, and textiles in our care. Our next step is to gain intellectual control over these and all the objects in our 1.5-million-piece collection through a long-term inventory and assessment project. Thanks to generous funding from the William E. Weiss Foundation, during FY2010 art historian James Tottis began the assessment of our extensive decorative arts collection. The results of this work can already be seen in New York Interiors, the ongoing exhibition of period rooms illustrating New York City's history from the 17th through early 20th centuries on the Museum's second floor. These displays have been reinstalled and refreshed, incorporating where appropriate the very best examples of each era's furnishings from our collections. Progress on our digitization project has been outstanding. With major support from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone and the Leon Levy Foundation, the Museum in 2009 launched a project to digitize 90,000 images of the city's built environment from our stellar Photography Collection-including the work of Berenice Abbott, Jessie Tarbox Beals, the Byron Company, Samuel Gottscho, Jacob Riis, and the Wurts Brothers Company. Our digitization project team created 55,495 images during FY2010, for a total of 67,458 digitized photographs by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2010. We began digitization of our collection of Costumes and Textiles during FY2010 as well, thanks to a grant from the Coby Foundation to support the creation of an online exhibition of our outstanding collection of garments created by the designers Charles Worth and Mainbocher. The images included in this web-based presentation will be of a resolution high enough that viewers will be able to examine the construction of each garment-providing a record for the future not only of how these beautiful pieces look, but how they were made. Throughout the year, the Museum's digitization team worked with Orange Logic, a digital asset management company whose clients include the Reunion des Musees Nationaux of France, to create and upload catalogue information to a user-friendly database that will house the digital images online. Our team is also developing a dynamic and user-friendly public "face" for the database with web design firm Analogous. We anticipate that the online catalogue will launch by 2011, and that the digitization project will continue into the future, with the goal of ultimately providing searchable digital images of every collections object-making our resources available to anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. 1016909 332966 EducationDuring the 2009-10 school year, the Museum's Frederick A.O. Schwarz Children's Center educators welcomed 33,414 children and teachers to participate in hands-on education programs that help them understand New York City history and their own place in it. Thanks to the generosity of many individual and institutional donors, in May 2010 we completed a five-year matching grant challenge from the FAO Schwarz Family Foundation that establishes a $1.5 million endowment to support all our education programs going forward. Even in the difficult economic climate, we exceeded our $350,000 matching requirement, raising a grand total of $368,100 toward the endowment. Our out-of-school-time programming for children and teens also received a boost in FY2010. These programs, which include Summer Programs; field trip programs during vacation months; Neighborhood Explorers, a year-long, after-school architecture program for teens; New York City History Day, a year-long independent research contest; and Saturday Academy, free academic enrichment plus SAT prep classes on Saturday mornings, were awarded a major grant from the FederalDepartment of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention secured by Representative Carolyn Maloney. And our educators worked with a consultant to complete research for a ground-breaking assessment of the Schwarz Children's Center programs' impact on the children who participate. A grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies allowed the Museum to engage the well regarded evaluation and research firm of Randi Korn & Associates to interview 150 fourth-grade participants in the most popular of the Center's programs, a field trip lesson plan titled "Travelling through Time: New Amsterdam-New York," both before and after their visit to the Museum, in order to determine and document the program's impact on students in quantifiable terms. We will soon learn the results of this study and look forward to putting them to use. 1435344 289386 Renovation and ExpansionFY2010 was a year of important progress for the Museum's Restoration and Expansion Project. Having completed Phase I during FY2009-the construction of a climate-controlled curatorial and collections storage center for our paper- and textilebased material, topped by the strikingly contemporary James G. Dinan and Elizabeth R. Miller Gallery-we turned to Phase II: the beginning of the renovation of our beloved landmark building on Fifth Avenue's Museum Mile. Until the current construction project began, our neo-Georgian home had not been significantly altered since it was completed in 1932. This left the institution out of step with evolving standards in museum practice and lacking contemporary climate control. Overcrowded, makeshift offices for staff were carved out from corners of galleries on the Museum's third floor, and an aging education center became increasingly unable to meet the needs of its growing constituency. After the collections objects formerly stored on the fourth floor of the 1932 building were re-housed in the new curatorial center, and after the Rockefeller period rooms on the fifth floor found new homes at other institutions, the first stage of Phase II commenced: the conversion of those two floors into up-to-date office spaces for the Museum's departments of Exhibitions, Public Programs, Communications, Development, Finance and Accounting, and Human Resources. This process was ongoing throughout FY2010. Concurrently, the heavily used and worn classrooms of our Frederick A.O. Schwarz Children's Center were gutted and updated. Starting in the 2010-11 school year, the Children's Center will be able to accommodate up to three groups ata time in flexible education spaces outfitted with appropriate furniture and storage equipment, plus ceiling-mounted LCD projectors, retractable screens, and-for the first time-Internet access. Moving the staff into their new, purpose-built offices and out of the third floor galleries allows the Museum to undertake the second stage of Phase II: the renovation of the first, second, and third floors of our South Wing into exhibition spaces built to the same high standard as our Dinan-Miller Gallery. After Phase II is completed in October 2011, we will renovate the North Wing in Phase III. The curatorial center and Dinan-Miller Gallery have already dramatically enhanced this institution's ability to care for and display its collections objects and to mount special exhibitions. Phase II is beginning to bring our 78-year-old building into the 21st century as well and will help us provide a museum worthy of this great city for visitors from across the five boroughs and around the world.Museum ShopAmong the city's major museums, there is only one with the words "New," "York," and "City" in its name, and this is precisely what gives the Museum of the City of New York its unique mandate: to explore the past, present, and future of this fascinating and particular place and to celebrate its heritage of diversity, opportunity, and perpetual transformation. It is the goal of The Museum Shop to create a true destination for its patrons, offering a choice selection of New York-inspired gifts, publications and exhibition-specific products. All proceeds generated in shop help support the Museum. 1435344 289386 8369113 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 140 0 1 152 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 44 42 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 NY X Carl Dreyer CPA 2125341672 1220 fifth avenue new york NY 10029 Jill Chalsty 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Todd DeGarmo 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James GDinan 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James P Druckman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas M Flexner 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Leslie V Godridge 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James A Lebenthal 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ronay Menschel 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Newton PS Merrill 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Deidre O'Byrne 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jane B O'Connell 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James E Quinn 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Bruno A Quinson 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lawrence Simon 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mitchell S Steir 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Farran Tozer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Henshaw Jones 35.00 X X 281550 0 27683 Sarah M Henry PHD 35.00 X X 179700 0 30376 DrHilary Ballon 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeremy HBiggs 2.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Bruno 2.00 X 0 0 0 James E Buckman 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Cacioppo 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mark D'Arcy 2.00 X 0 0 0 Marvin H Davidson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Vernon Evenson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara J Fife 2.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Lofaro Freeman 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Gilbertson 2.00 X 18000 0 0 Lorna Goodman 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Hanley 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sylvia Hemingway 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Hoffman 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen S Lash 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Mahon 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martin J McLaughlin 2.00 X 0 0 0 Hebe Dowling Murphy 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gurudatta Nadkarni 2.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Whipple Rockefel 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Burwell Schorr 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey S Tabak 2.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Brown Uber 2.00 X 0 0 0 William C Vrattos 2.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Zakaria 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carl Dreyer 35.00 X 130023 0 27718 Susan Madden 35.00 X 188289 0 20584 Donald Albrecht 35.00 X 115063 0 13929 Barbara Livenstein 35.00 X 106806 0 14564 1019431 0 134854 7 0 1 0 Polshek 95 Morton St New York NY 10014 Architects 330036 Voll 1087 Flushing Ave 417 Brooklyn NY 11237 Exhibit Design & Construction 216402 Blackbaud PO Box 930256 Atlanta GA 31193 Computer Software 131905 Phil & Co 95 Morton St New York NY 10014 Public Relations 114605 Ken Allen Studios 50 South First St Brooklyn NY 11211 Collection Preservation 106199 6 2298012 1527840 6613378 121979 10439230 Admissions 900099 753914 753914 Educational Programs 611710 332966 332966 Membership dues 900099 289386 289386 licensing and other fe 900099 182626 182626 1558892 164700 164700 253738 63434 190304 190304 190304 1239265 336911 1006703 12000 232562 324911 557473 557473 214760 2298012 395459 -180699 -180699 384048 210953 173095 173095 12902995 1558892 0 904873 900528 404556 196550 299422 3937265 3091455 217992 627818 171540 146730 4113 20697 440597 329812 26140 84645 421545 307272 34404 79869 5829 5829 27000 27000 42000 42000 103965 103965 1027009 988803 23168 15038 45604 43048 481 2075 654110 442277 35757 176076 179298 161439 14130 3729 811628 688086 92683 30859 127137 93080 2577 31480 8069 8069 709300 425580 248255 35465 Exhibition design and f 1198742 1198742 Miscellaneous 63649 48233 3085 12331 Bad Debt 50000 50000 10924815 8369113 1044198 1511504 2976266 2374691 5653583 4744209 7017356 5864445 95979 78374 58729 145881 20901580 3452768 16046633 17448812 6071318 9169108 1898154 3085701 39818018 42911221 665817 779702 2249 54287 668066 833989 X 19497784 21298223 13778435 12676412 5873733 8102597 39149952 42077232 39818018 42911221 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 9455622 9609636 14440158 16509012 10439230 60453658 9455622 9609636 14440158 16509012 10439230 60453658 6186943 54266715 679983 583126 529815 455732 418438 2667094 2440067 606363 273381 685347 598808 4603966 67724718 8607154 0.80130 0.80490 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: miscellaneous special events gross receipts from inventory sold RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X 0 5873733 1915853 313111 8102697 3987326 1886407 5873733 1.00000 0 0 15390371 2798017 12592354 64506 7056 57450 276581 95091 181490 5170122 552604 4617518 17448812 Endicott Limited Partnership 26009 F King Street Limited Partnership 2086706 F Taconic Opportunity Offshore Fund 972986 F 3085701 Capital Lease Obligations 54287 54287 12902995 10924815 1978180 885666 63434 949100 2927280 14127550 885666 379420 63434 1328520 12799030 103965 103965 12902995 11200270 379420 379420 10820850 103965 103965 10924815 Part III, Line 1a: The Museum's collection, which was acquired through purchases and contributions since its inception, is not recognized as an asset on the accompanying balance sheet.
