CONCURRENT WITH THE PROMISED GIFT - WITH THE SUPPORT OF MUSEUM TRUSTEES AND OTHERS, INCLUDING MR. LAUDER, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM IS ESTABLISHING THE LEONARD A. LAUDER RESEARCH CENTER FOR MODERN ART, ALLOWING THE MUSEUM TO PURSUE BROAD-REACHING SCHOLARSHIP. IT WILL BE THE FIRST SUCH CENTER DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO MODERN ART WITHIN AN ENCYCOPEDIC INSTITUTION.

PART III (CONTINUED)   THE CURATORIAL PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY NUMEROUS SERVICES AND RESOURCES. THE DEPARTMENTS OF PAINTINGS, PAPER, OBJECTS AND TEXTILE CONSERVATION PREPARE AND REVIEW EVERY ARTWORK SELECTED FOR A NEW INSTALLATION, SPECIAL EXHIBITION OR LOAN. THIS CONSERVATION EFFORT RANKS WITH THE BEST OF THE WORLD'S MAJOR MUSEUMS. THE THOMAS J. WATSON LIBRARY HOUSES VALUABLE RESEARCH MATERIAL AND MAKES IT AVAILABLE FOR CURATORIAL, EDUCATION, AND PUBLICATION PROJECTS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, 8,919 VISITS WERE MADE BY OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS (A 28% INCREASE FROM FY12). WATSON LIBRARY REGISTERED 2,404 NEW OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS. THE MUSEUM LIBRARIES CIRCULATED 70,111 ITEMS TO READERS. NINE WEEKLY SESSIONS OF STORY TIME IN NOLEN LIBRARY REACHED OVER 12,200 CHILDREN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS.

THE MUSEUM CONTINUES TO BE A LEADING MUSEUM PUBLISHER IN THE WORLD AND AGAIN PRODUCED AN IMPRESSIVE NUMBER OF PUBLICATIONS, MANY TITLES RECEIVING EXCELLENT REVIEWS OR WINNING PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2013, THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT PUBLISHED TWENTY THREE PUBLICATIONS, INCLUDING TEN EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, NINE COLLECTION AND OTHER SCHOLARLY CATALOGUES, AND FOUR BULLETINS. A COMPLETELY RECONCEIVED AND REWRITTEN METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART GUIDE WAS PUBLISHED IN 2012, THE FIRST NEW EDITION IN ALMOST THREE DECADES. WITH NEARLY 600 MASTERPIECES, IT REPRESENTS THE FULL SCOPE OF THE MUSEUM'S ENCYCLOPEDIC COLLECTION AND IS NOW AVAILABLE IN SIX TRANSLATED LANGUAGES.
PART III (CONTINUED)   THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITION PROGRAM IS EXCEPTIONALLY DIVERSE, PRESENTING ABOUT 35 TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS, PERMANENT COLLECTION ROTATIONS, AND OUTGOING LOAN SHOWS PER YEAR FOCUSING ON A WIDE RANGE OF THEMES, PERIODS, CULTURES, AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS. THE FOLLOWING EXHIBITIONS WERE AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS THIS YEAR: "REGARDING WARHOL: SIXTY ARTISTS, FIFTY YEARS"; "BERNINI: SCULPTING IN CLAY"; "FAKING IT: MANIPULATED PHOTOGRAPHY BEFORE PHOTOSHOP"; "EXTRAVAGANT INVENTIONS: THE PRINCELY FURNITURE OF THE ROENTGENS"; "GEORGE BELLOWS"; "MATISSE: IN SEARCH OF TRUE PAINTING"; "IMPRESSIONISM, FASHION, AND MODERNITY"; "PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR"; "PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE"; "THE ROOF GARDEN COMMISSION: IMRAN QURESHI"; "SEARCH FOR THE UNICORN: AN EXHIBITION IN HONOR OF THE CLOISTERS' 75TH ANNIVERSARY"; "THE BOXER: AN ANCIENT MASTERPIECE"; "THE CYRUS CYLINDER AND ANCIENT PERSIA: CHARTING A NEW EMPIRE"; "EARTH, SEA, AND SKY: NATURE IN WESTERN ART - MASTERPIECES FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" (PRESENTED AT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF CHINA, BEIJING AND THE TOKYO METROPOLITAN MUSEUM, TOKYO); "VELZQUEZ'S PORTRAIT OF DUKE FRANCESCO I D'ESTE: A MASTERPIECE FROM THE GALLERIA ESTENSE, MODENA"; "AFRICAN ART, NEW YORK, AND THE AVANT-GARDE"; "BASHFORD DEAN AND THE CREATION OF THE ARMS AND ARMOR DEPARTMENT"; "CAMBODIAN RATTAN: THE SCULPTURES OF SOPHEAP PICH"; "STREET", A NEW VIDEO BY JAMES NARES. THE PERMANENT COLLECTION AND SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS CONTINUE TO BE ENHANCED BY A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL AND CONCERTS & LECTURES PROGRAMS. THE MUSEUM SERVES ALL AGE GROUPS, FROM PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN TO SENIOR CITIZENS, AND MAINTAINS A BROAD RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS. BUILDING ON THE PRIOR YEAR, THE MUSEUM CREATED NEW EVENTS IN WHICH LIVING ARTISTS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED, OFFERING UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES. NOTABLY WAS THE FIRST-EVER PERFORMING-ARTIST RESIDENCY, WITH PAUL D. MILLER, AKA DJ SPOOKY, WHO COLLABORATED ON NUMEROUS PROJECTS WITH CURATORS, EDUCATORS, AND STAFF THROUGHOUT THE MUSEUM. LAST YEAR THE MUSEUM ORGANIZED SOME 25,815 EDUCATIONAL EVENTS REACHING 652,898 PEOPLE REPRESENTING AN INCREASINGLY NEW AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE. OF THE APPROXIMATELY 38,000 WHO ATTENDED A MET MUSEUM PRESENTS TICKETED PROGRAM, 60 PERCENT HAD NEVER BEFORE ATTENDED A CONCERT OR LECTURE AT THE MUSEUM. AT THE MAIN BUILDING AND THE CLOISTERS, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED 5,900 SCHOOL CLASSES, REPRESENTING 208,838 STUDENTS. TEACHER TRAINING, THROUGH ONSITE AND ONLINE WORKSHOPS, AS WELL AS PRINTED AND WEB-BASED TEACHER RESOURCES, WHICH ARE FREE UPON REQUEST FOR ALL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND AVAILABLE IN PDF FORM FOR SCHOOLS WORLDWIDE, ENABLE K-12 EDUCATORS TO MORE FULLY UTILIZE THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS IN THEIR CURRICULA.
PART III (CONTINUED)   DURING THE YEAR 40,995 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN FAMILY PROGRAMMING AND MANY MORE WERE ABLE TO ENRICH THEIR VISITS THROUGH PRINTED FAMILY GUIDES. FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN MAY ALSO DOWNLOAD AND PRINT THESE GUIDES AT HOME IN PREPARATION FOR THEIR MET VISIT. THE MUSEUM OFFERS SPECIALLY DESIGNED PROGRAMS FOR A DEDICATED TEEN AUDIENCE: 1,587 VISITORS (AGED 11 THROUGH 18) TOOK PART IN THESE PROGRAMS. FOR GENERAL VISITORS, THE MUSEUM OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE SERIES OF LECTURES, GALLERY TALKS, AND GUIDED TOURS IN NUMEROUS LANGUAGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, MOST OF WHICH ARE FREE WITH MUSEUM ADMISSION. LAST YEAR, 105,645 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN GALLERY TALKS AND GUIDED TOURS, AND 22,548 ATTENDED LECTURES. THE MUSEUM IS COMMITTED TO REACHING OUT TO POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT THE NEW YORK CITY COMMUNITY WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE MUSEUM. THIS INCLUDES THE MULTICULTURAL AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (MADI) TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE MUSEUM'S PROGRAMS AND COLLECTIONS, TO CREATE ONGOING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MANY DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THAT MAKE UP NEW YORK, TO DIVERSIFY MUSEUM VISITORSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP, AND TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN MUSEUM ACTIVITIES. THE MULTICULTURAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS COMPOSED OF NEW YORK'S AFRICAN-AMERICAN, SOUTH ASIAN, ASIAN-AMERICAN, HISPANIC/LATINO, AMERICAN INDIAN, LGBT, AMERICAN MUSLIM, AND INTERFAITH CULTURAL LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS, WHO MEET ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH MUSEUM STAFF TO PURSUE THESE ONGOING GOALS. THE MUSEUM ALSO OFFERS A FULL RANGE OF PROGRAMS FOR VISITORS WITH VISION, HEARING, LEARNING, AND MOBILITY IMPAIRMENTS, AS WELL AS FOR THOSE WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. IN FISCAL 2013, 7,035 SUCH VISITORS PARTICIPATED IN 368 PROGRAMS. DESPITE THE EVER-INCREASING CHALLENGE TO MEET OPERATING NEEDS, THE MUSEUM IS COMMITTED TO FINDING WAYS TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE INTERESTS OF ITS AUDIENCE. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 36% OF VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM WERE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. THUS, AS THE NUMBER OF NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING VISITORS INCREASES, PROVIDING SERVICES TO MEET THEIR NEEDS BECOMES EVER MORE IMPORTANT. THE MUSEUM OFFERS A FOREIGN VISITORS INFORMATION DESK; A MUSEUM MAP AND INFORMATION BROCHURE IN ELEVEN LANGUAGES; AND MULTI-LINGUAL WALKING TOURS, GALLERY TALKS, AND VISITOR INFORMATION ON THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE.
PART III (CONTINUED)   FISCAL YEAR 2013 SAW THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART'S DIGITAL MEDIA DEPARTMENT AT THE FOREFRONT OF SEVERAL OF THE MUSEUM'S DEFINING ACHIEVEMENTS AND INITIATIVES. FORMED IN FY 2011, THE DEPARTMENT IS CHARGED TO BOLSTER THE MUSEUM'S EFFORTS TO EXPAND ITS REACH BEYOND ITS WALLS THROUGH THE USE OF DIGITAL MEDIA, LEADING THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, PRESENTATION, AND DISSEMINATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BOTH WITHIN THE GALLERIES AND ONLINE. THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE, METMUSEUM.ORG, RECEIVED MORE THAN 40 MILLION VISITS, WITH A TOTAL OF MORE THAN 138 MILLION PAGEVIEWS, IN FISCAL YEAR 2013. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS--MOST NOTABLY FACEBOOK AND PINTEREST--CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO SITE TRAFFIC AND OVERALL AWARENESS OF THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS. THE MET'S FACEBOOK FOLLOWING INCREASED TO NEARLY ONE MILLION PEOPLE BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. IN JANUARY 2012 OUR SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM LAUNCHED AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, WHICH QUICKLY BECAME ANOTHER EFFECTIVE WAY FOR THE MUSEUM TO ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC, BOTH LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY. THE WEBSITE ALSO MADE AVAILABLE THE WIDE RANGE OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS OFFERED IN THE MUSEUM. DOZENS OF LECTURES, PANELS, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WERE VIDEOTAPED AND PRESENTED IN THE MET MEDIA SECTION OF THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE. OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, METMUSEUM.ORG ALSO LIVE STREAMED ELEVEN PROGRAMS MOUNTED BY MET MUSEUM PRESENTS, INCLUDING CONCERTS BY ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE D.J. SPOOKY AND A PERFORMANCE OF THE CHINESE OPERA, THE PEONY PAVILION, IN THE ASTOR GARDEN COURT. FINDING NEW WAYS TO ENGAGE WITH OUR AUDIENCE IS AN ONGOING COMMITMENT, AND THIS YEAR WE AGAIN BUILT ON A SERIES OF AWARD-WINNING METROPOLITAN MUSEUM ONLINE INITIATIVES INSPIRED BY OUR VAST COLLECTION. THE MET AROUND THE WORLD (NEW EDITION LAUNCHED JULY 2012) ENRICHED THE PREVIOUSLY INTERNATIONALLY FOCUSED INSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE AREAS OF EXHIBITIONS, LOANS, CONSERVATION, EXCAVATIONS, FELLOWSHIPS, EXCHANGES, AND OTHER COLLABORATIONS TO INCLUDE DOMESTIC ACTIVITIES. LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 2013, 82ND & FIFTH WAS A YEARLONG INTERACTIVE WEB SERIES IN WHICH CURATORS FROM ACROSS THE MUSEUM INVITED VISITORS TO ENGAGE WITH THE INDIVIDUAL WORKS. LIKE 2011'S CONNECTIONS, ANOTHER GROUNDBREAKING WEB SERIES, 82ND & FIFTH SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE MUSEUM'S INTEREST IN LINKING HISTORICAL ART AND CULTURE TO A BROADER AUDIENCE. THE MUSEUM'S ONLINE PUBLISHING PROGRAM ALSO ADVANCED THIS YEAR WITH THE LAUNCH IN OCTOBER 2012 OF METPUBLICATIONS. AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT REAFFIRMS OUR COMMITMENT TO BOTH SCHOLARSHIP AND GLOBAL ACCESSIBILITY, IT IS A PORTAL TO THE INSTITUTION'S RENOWNED COMPREHENSIVE PUBLISHING PROGRAM, PROVIDING ACCESS TO NEARLY 900 BOOKS, MANY OF THEM OUT OF PRINT, AS WELL AS FIFTY YEARS OF BULLETINS AND JOURNALS. JULY 2013 SAW THE COMPLETION OF THE TMS CONSOLIDATION PROJECT. TMS (THE MUSEUM SYSTEM) IS THE DATABASE PROGRAM USED TO CATALOGUE AND TRACK ALL OBJECTS IN THE COLLECTION. THE MUSEUM'S TWENTY-THREE TMS DATABASES WERE CONSOLIDATED INTO A SINGLE SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE CULMINATION OF FOUR YEARS OF WORK AND MARKS THE FIRST TIME THE MUSEUM HAS HAD A SINGLE CENTRALIZED COLLECTION DATABASE. THE MUSEUM ALSO MADE STRIDES IN ITS MOBILE EFFORTS, PRODUCING A NUMBER OF FREELY DOWNLOADABLE APPLICATIONS AND ONLINE INTERACTIVES SUCH AS FAKING IT, BEYOND BATTLE, AND PLAIN OR FANCY. THE MUSEUM ALSO RELAUNCHED THE AUDIO GUIDE AVAILABLE TO ONSITE VISITORS. THE GUIDE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE, AS IT PROVIDES INTERPRETIVE MEDIA ON THOUSANDS OF WORKS OF ART AND SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS, PROVIDING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN LEARNING ABOUT THE MUSEUM AND ITS COLLECTIONS AND ENCOUNTERING FACE-TO-FACE THE MAGNIFICENT WORKS AND PROGRAMS IN OUR GALLERIES.
PART III (CONTINUED)   THE MUSEUM AND ITS PERMANENT COLLECTIONS ARE CONTINUOUSLY ENHANCED THROUGH NEW INSTALLATIONS AND CAPITAL PROJECTS. THE MUSEUM CELEBRATED THE REOPENING IN MAY OF THE MUSEUM'S GALLERIES DEVOTED TO ITS WORLD-RENOWNED COLLECTION OF OLD MASTER PAINTINGS FROM THE THIRTEENTH THROUGH THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. THIS NEW SPACE IS A THIRD LARGER THAN ITS PREVIOUS INCARNATION AND ACCOMODATES THE DISPLAY OF MORE THAN 700 PAINTINGS IN FORTY-FIVE REDESIGNED GALLERIES. CONSTRUCTION ON A COMPREHENSIVE REDESIGN OF THE METROPOLITAN'S FOUR-BLOCK-LONG PLAZA - INCLUDING THE CREATION OF NEW FOUNTAINS AS WELL AS SEASONAL LANDSCAPING, IMPROVED ACCESS TO THE MUSEUM, AND NEW LIGHTING CONTINUES AND IS EXPECTED TO OPEN TO THE PUBLIC NEXT FALL. A BRAND-NEW MEMBERS LOUNGE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE GREAT HALL BALCONY WAS COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF 2012. RENOVATION OF THE GALLERIES, LIBRARY, CONSERVATION SPACE, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES OF THE COSTUME INSTITUTE CONTINUES WITH EXPECTED COMPLETION IN SPRING 2014. WITH A GENEROUS ALLOCATION OF $6 MILLION FROM THE CITY OF NEW YORK, THE MUSEUM CONTINUED WORK ON ITS MULTIYEAR PLAN TO UPGRADE AND REPLACE COMPONENTS OF ITS INFASTRUCTURE. THE PROCESS OF THINKING ABOUT THE FULL SCOPE OF THE FACILITIES AND HOW BEST TO ALLOCATE PHYSICAL RESOURCES IN THE COMING DECADES CONTINUED TO BE A PRIORITY THIS YEAR. UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BEYER BENDER BELLE, THE MUSEUM IS ON TRACK TO COMPLETE ITS FEASIBIILTY STUDY THIS FALL.
