        <Explanation>The Currier is New Hampshire's largest art museum with world-class European and American art collections of over 11,000 objects that are at the core of its education, studio, and exhibition programs. Composed of the museum, the Art Center, and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Zimmerman House, the Currier is an accredited member of the American Association of Museums. In its 80-year history, the museum has built collections of both international stature and regional importance. Today, the museum's holdings of more than 11,000 objects include major works by such European masters as Tiepolo, Constable, Monet, Picasso, and Matisse, among many others. The American art collections are the most comprehensive in northern New England, and include works by Homer, Hassam, O'Keeffe, Calder, and Gottlieb, for instance, as well as extensive holdings of sculpture, photography, glass, silver, pewter, and furniture. The caliber of the collections matches that of many major metropolitan museums, and objects are frequently loaned to museums around the world. The Currier has a long-standing commitment to collect the best art made in New Hampshire in order to reflect the region's vital cultural traditions. An annual roster of 4-5 special exhibitions that complements the permanent collection displays are interpreted through a range of programs including guided tours, hands-on art making activities, and artist talks, and such resources as family guides. Approximately 6,500 students visit the Currier each year on a formal tour program. The Art Center offers year-round studio programs with annual enrollments of over 2,000 students from 40 surrounding communities. The Zimmerman House draws about 4,000 visitors annually on guided tours of about 12 visitors each. Outreach programs reach public schools, libraries, social service agencies and community organizations throughout the state. The Currier's collections are accessible to the public through the Online Collections Database (www.currier.org), which includes images and basic data for all 11,000 objects in the collections and extended text entries for 250 key works. It also provides supplemental information to support the Online Curriculum for Educators (curriculum.currier.org). The Currier's mission, approved by the Board in 1994, embraces the following principles: The Currier Museum of Art is committed to providing stimulating, diverse, and enjoyable encounters with original works of art and, in so doing, hopes to inspire the hearts, minds, and imagination of its members and visitors. It is dedicated to high standards of exhibition, preservation, research, interpretation and education, and enhancement of its collection. The Currier is determined to serve all age groups and a culturally varied audience from New Hampshire and the region. The Currier's vitality depends upon its responsiveness to changes in the arts and in society while maintaining a sound financial base on which to expand its activities.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>PART III, LINE 1A: The Museum has elected not to capitalize its collections and objects of art, including the Zimmerman House, all of which are significant to the Museum's operations and mission. The value of the objects acquired by gift, for which the Museum can make a reasonable estimate, totaled $223,275 and $510,450 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. An estimate of the total value of objects acquired by gift in years prior to 1997 is not readily determinable. The total value of gifts received since 1997 is $9,444,245. The total value of objects purchased from December 31, 1997 through June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $11,395,841 and $11,039,136, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Museum sold deaccessioned collections and objects of art totaling $15,531 and $60,249, respectively. The selling price of these items approximated their fair value.</Explanation>
