PART III, LINE 1A: THE MUSEUM'S ART COLLECTION IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ITS MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC TO ENCOURAGE AND EXPAND THE STUDY AND APPRECIATION OF ART THROUGH A PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH. COMPONENTS OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION, WHICH HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED THROUGH PURCHASES AND CONTRIBUTIONS, ARE NOT RECOGNIZED AS ASSETS ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION. PURCHASES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE RECORDED IN THE YEARS IN WHICH THE ITEMS ARE ACQUIRED AS DECREASES IN UNRESTRICTED OR TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS IN ACCORDANCE WITH DONOR RESTRICTIONS ON THE ASSETS USED TO PURCHASE THE ITEMS. CONTRIBUTED COLLECTION ITEMS ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BECAUSE THE MUSEUM DOES NOT HOLD COLLECTION ITEMS FOR SALE. PROCEEDS FROM DEACCESSIONS ARE ADDED TO TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS AND ARE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTION, EXCEPT FOR SIMILAR ITEMS ACQUIRED IN THE SAME YEAR WHICH ARE REPORTED AS UNRESTRICTED.
PART III, LINE 4: DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION: THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM HOLDS COLLECTIONS THAT ARE BOTH BROAD AND DEEP, AND INCLUDE ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT. TODAY THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE ORGANIZED AS FOLLOWS: 1 ARTS OF THE AMERICAS AND EUROPE A AMERICAN ART B EUROPEAN ART C ARTS OF THE AMERICAS D DECORATIVE ARTS 2 ARTS OF ANCIENT EGYPT, AFRICA AND ASIA A EGYPTIAN ART B AFRICAN AND PACIFIC ART C ASIAN ART D ISLAMIC ART 3 CONTEMPORARY ART A CONTEMPORARY ART B PHOTOGRAPHY 4 ELIZABETH A. SACKLER CENTER FOR FEMINIST ART THESE CURATORIAL DIVISIONS ARE OVERSEEN BY MANAGING CURATORS WHO, IN TURN, OVERSEE CURATORS WORKING IN EACH OF THE COLLECTION AREAS. CURATORS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE LIBRARY AND THE CONSERVATION, REGISTRATION, AND COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT DIVISIONS THAT ASSIST WITH THE PRESERVATION, CATALOGUING AND EXHIBITION OF WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION. AT THE CORE OF EVERY GREAT ART MUSEUM IS ITS COLLECTION, AND THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE ONE OF THE GREATEST COLLECTIONS IN THE COUNTRY. NO MATTER HOW STRONG THE FOUNDATION, HOWEVER, COLLECTIONS MUST GROW TO REMAIN VITAL. CALLING UPON ITS RICH HISTORY, THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM HAS MOVED FORWARD ASSERTIVELY OVER THE PAST DECADE, CONFIRMING THE CENTRAL PLACE OF THE MUSEUM'S GREAT COLLECTIONS WHILE ALSO REENVISIONING WHAT THEY MEAN, AS WE LOOK TOWARD MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PRESENT THESE DIVERSE HOLDINGS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. AT THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM, ISSUES OF COLLECTING MUST BE THOUGHT OF AS STRATEGICALLY INSEPARABLE FROM THE PRESENTATION IN OUR GALLERIES. BRINGING OUR VAST PANORAMA OF OBJECTS SUCCESSFULLY INTO THE FUTURE REQUIRES US TO MOVE AWAY FROM A CENTURY OF STRICTLY COMPARTMENTALIZED CONNOISSEURSHIP, AND TOWARD THE INTELLECTUAL AND FUNCTIONAL GOAL OF THINKING ABOUT OUR COLLECTION AS A VITAL WHOLE. TODAY, OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HOW ART HISTORY AND SOCIAL HISTORY INTERACT ENCOURAGES US TO PRESENT THE MUSEUM'S EXPANSIVE HOLDINGS FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, WITH PERMEABLE BOUNDARIES RATHER THAN RESTRICTIVE GEOGRAPHICAL OR HISTORICAL BORDERS. TO ACCOMPLISH THESE GOALS, EVERY OBJECT IN OUR COLLECTION MUST HELP US TO TELL THE STORY OF ART THAT WE AS A MUSEUM ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THAT STORY MUST BE TOLD ACCURATELY, BOLDLY, AND COMPELLINGLY TO OUR DIVERSE AUDIENCES. THE BETTER WE TELL THE STORY, THE BROADER AND DEEPER OUR AUDIENCE'S PARTICIPATION IN IT WILL BE, AND THE MORE WE WILL DESERVE RECOGNITION AS ONE OF THE GREAT MUSEUMS OF THE WORLD. BUILDING THE COLLECTION: NEW ACQUISITIONS ARE GUIDED BY A COLLECTIONS PLAN THAT IS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND REVIEWED BY THE COLLECTIONS COMMITTEE AND THE CURATORIAL TEAM ON A REGULAR BASIS. NEW ACQUISITIONS ARE CONSIDERED ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: - WILL THE WORK BE IMMEDIATELY USEFUL IN THE GALLERIES AND WILL IT EXPAND THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE THERE? - WILL THE WORK BE TRANSFORMATIVE FOR THE COLLECTION? WILL IT BE A WORK THAT BECOMES PART OF THE CANON FOR WHICH THE MUSEUM IS KNOWN AND REMEMBERED? - CAN IT BE USED TO ILLUMINATE MORE THAN ONE COLLECTION AREA, AND BRIDGE THE GAPS BETWEEN COLLECTIONS AND CULTURES? - IS IT AN OBJECT OF TRUE EXCELLENCE, FULLY AUTHENTIC AND IN GOOD CONDITION? - DOES IT HAVE SPECIAL RESONANCES WITH WORKS ALREADY IN THE COLLECTION? WILL IT INCREASE THE USEFULNESS OF EXISTING COLLECTIONS BY MAKING THEM MORE UNDERSTANDABLE? USING THE COLLECTION TO FURTHER THE MISSION: THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM IS DEDICATED TO THE CONTINUED STUDY, PRESERVATION, EXHIBITION, AND GROWTH OF ITS COLLECTION AS A WAY TO SERVE ITS MISSION: TO ACT AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE RICH ARTISTIC HERITAGE OF WORLD CULTURES, AS EMBODIED IN ITS COLLECTIONS, AND THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF EACH VISITOR, AND TO SERVE ITS DIVERSE PUBLIC AS A DYNAMIC, INNOVATIVE AND WELCOMING CENTER FOR LEARNING THROUGH THE VISUAL ARTS. IN FY 14, NEARLY 560,000 VISITORS EXPLORED WORKS FROM THE MUSEUM'S WIDE-RANGING COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, 21 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS AND 16 LONG-TERM INSTALLATIONS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY DEVELOPED AND EXTENDED CULTURAL AND ART HISTORICAL THEMES FOCUSED ON AND SUPPORTED BY THE MUSEUM'S RICH COLLECTIONS AND AIMED TO PROVIDE A VALUABLE AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE TO THE MUSEUM'S COMPLEX, DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. FINALLY, INNOVATIVE EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS INCLUDING PROGRAMS FOR K-12 STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES AND ADULTS HELPED AN ESTIMATED 150,000 VISITORS TO EXPLORE THE COLLECTION AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW.
PART V, LINE 4: THE BOARD IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE STATE REGULATIONS WILL APPROPRIATE AS MUCH OF NET APPRECIATION AS IS PRUDENT CONSIDERING THE MUSEUM'S LONG AND SHORT-TERM NEEDS, PRESENT AND ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS, EXPECTED TOTAL RETURN ON ITS INVESTMENTS, PRICE LEVEL TRENDS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. UNDER THE MUSEUM'S SPENDING POLICY, A PERCENTAGE OF THE ADJUSTED AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF CERTAIN INVESTMENTS MEASURED AT MARCH 31 OF EACH OF THE THREE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING YEARS IS MADE AVAILABLE ON EACH JULY 1 TO SUPPORT CURRENT OPERATIONS OF THE MUSEUM AND CERTAIN NON OPERATING ACTIVITIES AS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD.
PART X, LINE 2: THE MUSEUM RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY IF THOSE POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE MUSEUM HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE. THE MUSEUM IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO AUDITS BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING JURISDICTIONS FOR TAX YEARS PRIOR TO 2010.
