Explanation	The Museum awards grants, educational travel stipends and fellowships on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis. A Grants Committee, comprised of Museum curators, conservators, educators, scientists and librarians make selections based upon competitive written applications. The purpose of the grants is to provide an opportunity for the grantees to conduct research, extend their professional knowledge and contribute to their respective fields at large. To the best of the Museum's knowledge none of the recipients of the grants or fellowships are related to any person such as a trustee, an officer, or a key person of the Museum. Every grantee is assigned a specific supervisor at the start of the grantee's fellowship period. The supervisor is either a curator, conservator or scientist from the department hosting the individual grantee. The grantee and supervisor are in contact throughout the year and discuss all of the details of the grantee's research work. In addition, the Academic and Professional Programs Office, which is responsible for all of the fellows, requires periodic updates on the grantee's research.	ExplanationTxt

FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES	MISSION AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART WAS FOUNDED ON APRIL 13, 1870, WITH A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE THAT HAS GUIDED IT FOR OVER 140 YEARS: "TO BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING IN SAID CITY A MUSEUM AND LIBRARY OF ART, OF ENCOURAGING AND DEVELOPING THE STUDY OF THE FINE ARTS, AND THE APPLICATION OF ARTS TO MANUFACTURE AND PRACTICAL LIFE, OF ADVANCING THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF KINDRED SUBJECTS, AND, TO THAT END, OF FURNISHING POPULAR INSTRUCTION." ON JANUARY 13, 2015, THE TRUSTEES OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART REAFFIRMED THE ABOVE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND SUPPLEMENTED IT WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF MISSION: "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART COLLECTS, STUDIES, CONSERVES, AND PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF ART ACROSS ALL TIMES AND CULTURES IN ORDER TO CONNECT PEOPLE TO CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND IDEAS.ALL CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART WAS FOREVER CHANGED IN FISCAL YEAR 2020 BY THREE EVENTS: THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WIDESPREAD ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, AND SOCIAL UNREST RELATED TO SYSTEMIC RACISM IN THE UNITED STATES AND GLOBALLY. NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS OF THE FISCAL YEAR, INCLUDING MANY IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS, HAD PASSED BEFORE THE PANDEMIC FORCED THE MUSEUM TO CLOSE ITS DOORS TEMPORARILY ON MARCH 13 AND NAVIGATE EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES. THE INSTITUTION'S ACHIEVEMENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR'S LAST FOUR MONTHS, FROM MARCH THROUGH JUNE--A PERIOD THAT, POIGNANTLY, INCLUDED THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MUSEUM'S FOUNDING--PRESENT IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE OF THE STRENGTH AND IMPORTANCE OF THE MET. WE REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR MISSION TO CONNECT AUDIENCES TO CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, AND IDEAS; TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE INSTITUTION AND ITS MAGNIFICENT COLLECTION OF ART OF ALL TIMES AND CULTURES IN PERPETUITY; AND TO BE GOOD CITIZENS AND EXEMPLARY LEADERS IN OUR CURRENT TIMES. THIS REPORT WAS PREPARED FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED ON JUNE 30, AND WE LOOK BACK NOW ON THE YEAR'S CHALLENGING FINAL QUARTER ALTERED BUT CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC: ON AUGUST 29, WE MARKED A NEW CHAPTER IN THE MET'S HISTORY AS WE REOPENED THE MUSEUM AND WELCOMED VISITORS AFTER MORE THAN FIVE MONTHS OF CLOSURE. THE ROAD AHEAD WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE DIFFICULT AS WE ADJUST TO A NEW FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK; ADAPT TO THE CONSTRAINTS REQUIRED TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH; AND WORK TO ADDRESS THE RACISM AND INJUSTICE EMBEDDED WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT, POLICIES, SYSTEMS, AND INSTITUTIONS. FOR MORE THAN 150 YEARS, INDIVIDUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE COME TO THE MET TO CONNECT TO DIVERSE CULTURES AND PEOPLES. NOW MORE THAN EVER, THROUGH THE SUFFERING WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND THE OBSTACLES WE HAVE CONFRONTED THIS YEAR, BOTH AS INDIVIDUALS AND COLLECTIVELY, WE KNOW WITH CONVICTION THAT ART HAS THE POWER TO COMFORT AND INSPIRE US, BRING US TOGETHER, FOSTER UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION, AND ENLIGHTEN OUR LIVES, EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT MOMENTS. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF BOTH THE CHALLENGES FACED BY THE MUSEUM AND ITS MANY ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT TOOK PLACE DURING FISCAL YEAR 2020. ON-SITE AND ONLINE ATTENDANCE BEFORE THE MUSEUM WAS FORCED TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY ON MARCH 13, IT WELCOMED 4.5 MILLION VISITORS (4,497,976) TO THREE LOCATIONS--THE MET FIFTH AVENUE, THE MET CLOISTERS, AND THE MET BREUER. THE FIGURE TRACKS CLOSELY WITH THE SAME PERIOD IN THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR, WHEN, FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED MORE THAN 7 MILLION VISITORS. CONTINUALLY ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST VISITED TOURIST ATTRACTIONS FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES, THE MET DRAWS A WIDE RANGE OF VISITORS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS ACCOUNTED FOR 29 PERCENT OF VISITORS, LOCAL VISITORS FROM THE FIVE BOROUGHS MADE UP 34 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL TOTAL, AND 13 PERCENT WERE FROM THE TRI-STATE AREA. THE MET CLOISTERS DREW 180,853 VISITORS IN FISCAL YEAR 2020 AND THE MET BREUER SAW 210,602 VISITORS IN ITS FINAL YEAR. THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE ENDED THE FISCAL YEAR WITH AROUND 33.7 MILLION VISITS, AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH HAS BEEN SIMILARLY BROAD: THE INSTITUTION'S TWITTER FEED HAS MORE THAN 4.3 MILLION FOLLOWERS, ITS WEBBY AWARD-WINNING INSTAGRAM HAS 3.7 MILLION, AND ITS FACEBOOK ACCOUNT HAS MORE THAN 2 MILLION FOLLOWERS. COMMITMENTS TO ANTI-RACISM AND DIVERSITY IN THE SPRING, WE AFFIRMED FOR OUR STAFF AND THE PUBLIC THE MET'S SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY, RECOMMITTED TO DIVERSIFYING OUR INSTITUTION, AND MADE CLEAR THAT THE MOVEMENT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR WORK. IN JUNE WE PROPOSED BRINGING MEANINGFUL CHANGE TO THE INSTITUTION THROUGH SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR POLICIES, PRACTICES, AND PRIORITIES. PUBLICIZED IN JULY, OUR COMMITMENTS RANGE FROM HOW WE HIRE STAFF TO HOW WE BUILD AND OVERSEE OUR COLLECTION AND PROGRAMMING, STRUCTURE OUR GOVERNANCE, AND ENGAGE OUR COMMUNITY. THESE PRIORITIES ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE, BUT THEY SET A PATH FOR THE MET TO EMERGE A STRONGER INSTITUTION FOR OUR STAFF, THE PUBLIC, AND THE LARGER CULTURAL WORLD. WE CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESS (DEIA) PLAN, WHICH THE MUSEUM BEGAN IMPLEMENTING IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, AND WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS, CHANGE, OR ADAPT IT AS NEEDED. THE MET'S VOLUNTEERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE ENGAGED IN THEIR OWN DEIA PLANS, AND THEIR EFFORTS ARE ALSO INTEGRAL TO THE MUSEUM'S WORK IN THIS AREA. THE MET HAS FACED MANY TURNING POINTS THROUGHOUT ITS 150-YEAR HISTORY, AND THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT WE ARE AT ONE OF THOSE TRANSFORMATIONAL MOMENTS NOW. WE SEE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STEWARD THE MUSEUM TOWARD A STRONG FUTURE, ONE THAT FULLY EMBRACES THE DIVERSITY, CREATIVITY, AND RICHNESS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. PROGRAMMING DURING THE MUSEUM'S CLOSURE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MET'S VIRTUAL OFFERINGS IN RELATION TO THE MUSEUM'S MISSION TO CONNECT WITH GLOBAL AUDIENCES WAS NEVER FELT MORE KEENLY THAN IN FISCAL YEAR 2020. WHILE CLOSED, THE MUSEUM PROVIDED A CRITICAL SERVICE FOR ALL OF ITS AUDIENCES--LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL--THROUGH ITS DIGITAL CHANNELS. IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING ITS CLOSURE, THE MUSEUM ANNOUNCED A ROBUST SELECTION OF ONLINE CONTENT AND SOCIAL MEDIA INITIATIVES THAT ALLOWED AUDIENCES TO ACCESS EXHIBITIONS, THE MET COLLECTION, AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. VISITORS COULD ALSO ENJOY LIVE AND INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING, PERFORMANCES, CONVERSATIONS WITH CURATORS, EDUCATORS, AND ARTISTS, AND FEATURES HONORING THE LEGACY OF THE MET BREUER, WHICH SAW ITS FINAL SEASON OF PROGRAMMING THIS YEAR (SEE BELOW). THE MUSEUM'S HOME PAGE PIVOTED FROM ENCOURAGING ON-SITE VISITS TO FEATURING WEB-BASED HIGHLIGHTS, INCLUDING 360-DEGREE VIEWS OF ICONIC SPACES, BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEOS, AND DYNAMIC EXPLORATIONS OF EXHIBITIONS. WEEKLY FEATURES ON THE MET'S SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS WERE SUPPLEMENTED WITH UNIQUE STORIES FROM THE MUSEUM'S FOLLOWERS AND A FORUM FOR CURATORS TO SHARE THOUGHTS AND EXPERTISE FROM HOME. WE CREATED THE ART AT HOME HUB FOR VISITORS TO DISCOVER NEW AND EXISTING DIGITAL CONTENT; THE HOME PAGE ALSO HOSTED EVENTS RELATED TO THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY AND THE MET GALA (THE COSTUME INSTITUTE'S ANNUAL SPRING BENEFIT, WHICH WAS CANCELED THIS YEAR), AND, AT A SIGNIFICANT MOMENT, PROVIDED SPACE IN WHICH TO AMPLIFY BLACK VOICES IN SOLIDARITY FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE. 150TH ANNIVERSARY DUE TO THE CLOSURE, THE MUSEUM WAS NOT ABLE TO CELEBRATE ITS MUCH- ANTICIPATED 150TH ANNIVERSARY ON APRIL 13 OR THROUGHOUT THE SPRING AS PLANNED, BUT THE SPIRIT OF CREATIVITY AND INGENUITY THAT HAS SUSTAINED THE MET THROUGHOUT ITS FIFTEEN DECADES WAS STILL VERY MUCH EVIDENT. WE OFFERED A RANGE OF SPECIAL DIGITAL PROGRAMMING THAT ALLOWED US TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE THE MILESTONE AND CONNECT WITH OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY THROUGH CONVERSATIONS, TALKS, PERFORMANCES, INSTRUCTOR-LED DRAWING SESSIONS, AND MORE. THE MET BREUER ANOTHER IMPORTANT MILESTONE CUT SHORT BY THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE WAS THE FINAL SEASON OF PROGRAMMING AT THE MET BREUER, WHERE, SINCE 2016, THE MUSEUM HAS REDEFINED HOW TO SHOW CONTEMPORARY ART IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS ENCYCLOPEDIC COLLECTION. (THE MET BREUER WILL NOT REOPEN TO THE PUBLIC; THE BUILDING WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE FRICK COLLECTION, AS PLANNED, IN AUGUST 2020.) AT THE MET BREUER, THE MUSEUM DEVELOPED A PIONEERING FORMAT OF THEMATIC EXHIBITIONS TO TELL NEW, MODERN STORIES IN RELATION TO HISTORY AND THE WORLD. THE PROGRAMMING PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON AN INTERNATIONAL ARRAY OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS, INCLUDING KERRY JAMES MARSHALL, DIANE ARBUS, MRINALINI MUKHERJEE, NASREEN MOHAMEDI, JACK WHITTEN, VIJA CELMINS, LYGIA PAPE, MARSDEN HARTLEY, SIAH ARMAJANI, LUCIO FONTANA, AND MARISA MERZ. THE SUCCESS OF THESE EXHIBITIONS, WHICH INTENTIONALLY COMPLICATED AND ENLARGED THE SO-CALLED CANON, HAS SOLIDIFIED THE MET'S REPUTATION IN THE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY FIELD WHILE ALSO BRINGING TO THE PUBLIC IMPACTFUL, BIG-IDEA SHOWS. WHAT WE ACHIEVED AT THE MET BREUER WILL GUIDE THE MUSEUM IN THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPING ITS CONTEMPORARY PROGRAM AT THE MET FIFTH AVENUE.
FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES	COLLECTION AND ACQUISITIONS THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION SPANS MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND YEARS OF HUMAN CREATIVITY AND WAS EXPANDED IN FISCAL YEAR 2020 BY A NUMBER OF KEY ACQUISITIONS. SEVERAL ARE HIGHLIGHTED HERE, AND MANY ARE ALSO EXPLORED IN THE ONLINE FEATURE "NEW TO THE COLLECTION."

EXHIBITIONS IN THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE MET MOUNTED THIRTY-THREE EXHIBITIONS THAT RANGED FROM GROUNDBREAKING PRESENTATIONS OF CULTURE AND HISTORY TO BOLD CONTEMPORARY ART COMMISSIONS. THE FOLLOWING EXHIBITIONS WERE AMONG THE HIGHLIGHTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2020: "APOLLO'S MUSE: THE MOON IN THE AGE OF PHOTOGRAPHY 'LEONARDO DA VINCI'S "SAINT JEROME" "KYOTO: CAPITAL OF ARTISTIC IMAGINATION "SITA AND RAMA: THE 'RAMAYANA' IN INDIAN PAINTING "THE COLMAR TREASURE: A MEDIEVAL JEWISH LEGACY THE MET'S FIRST-EVER COMMISSION FOR THE MUSEUM'S FIFTH AVENUE FACADE: FOUR SCULPTURES BY NAIROBI-BORN ARTIST WANGECHI MUTU (BORN 1978), TITLED "THE NEWONES, WILL FREE US "THE LAST KNIGHT: THE ART, ARMOR, AND AMBITION OF MAXIMILIAN I "THE RENAISSANCE OF ETCHING "FLIX VALLOTTON: PAINTER OF DISQUIET "RAYYANE TABET/ALIEN PROPERTY "MAKING MARVELS: SCIENCE AND SPLENDOR AT THE COURTS OF EUROPE "IN PURSUIT OF FASHION: THE SANDY SCHREIER COLLECTION "AESTHETIC SPLENDORS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE GIFT OF BARRIE AND DEEDEE WIGMORE "2020 VISION: PHOTOGRAPHS, 1840S-1860S "ARTE DEL MAR: ARTISTIC EXCHANGE IN THE CARIBBEAN THE GREAT HALL COMMISSION: KENT MONKMAN, "MISTIKSIWAK (WOODEN BOAT PEOPLE) "CHINESE PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY UP CLOSE "SAHEL: ART AND EMPIRES ON THE SHORES OF THE SAHARA THE NEW SERIES "CROSSROADS", WITH "POWER AND PIETY, EMPIRES AND EMPORIA, AND MYTHICAL BEASTS "PHOTOGRAPHY'S LAST CENTURY: THE ANN TENENBAUM AND THOMAS H.

THE DEPARTMENTS OF PAINTINGS, PAPER, OBJECTS, TEXTILE, AND PHOTOGRAPHS CONSERVATION ALONG WITH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PREPARE AND REVIEW EVERY ARTWORK SELECTED FOR AN EXHIBITION OR LOAN. THE MET'S CONSERVATION EFFORT RANKS WITH THE BEST OF THE WORLD'S MAJOR MUSEUMS. THE THOMAS J. WATSON LIBRARY HOUSES VALUABLE RESEARCH MATERIAL AVAILABLE TO THE STAFF AND PUBLIC FOR CURATORIAL, EDUCATION, AND PUBLICATION PROJECTS. THE LIBRARY WAS CLOSED FROM MARCH 13 THROUGH THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2020. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, 6,490 VISITS WERE MADE BY OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS, AND 1,233 NEW OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS WERE REGISTERED. THE MUSEUM LIBRARIES CIRCULATED 60,890 ITEMS TO READERS. BEFORE MARCH, ELEVEN WEEKLY SESSIONS OF STORY TIME IN NOLEN LIBRARY REACHED 11,355 CHILDREN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS; SUBSEQUENTLY, ONE WEEKLY VIRTUAL SESSION REACHES AN EVEN GREATER AUDIENCE. THE LIBRARY CONTINUED TO DIGITIZE RARE COLLECTION MATERIALS, BOTH PRINTED AND MANUSCRIPT, AND TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ONLINE, AVERAGING 228,309 HITS PER MONTH (COMPARED TO 188,458 IN FISCAL YEAR 2019). THE MET IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S PREEMINENT ART-BOOK PUBLISHERS, AND DESPITE THE CHALLENGES POSED BY THE PANDEMIC AND TEMPORARY CLOSURE, THE PUBLICATIONS AND EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT PRODUCED TWENTY NEW TITLES AND TWO REPRINTS. AMONG THESE WERE TEN EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, INCLUDING "GERHARD RICHTER: PAINTING AFTER ALL" (CITED AS AN OUTSTANDING ART BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES); THE GROUNDBREAKING "SAHEL: ART AND EMPIRES ON THE SHORES OF THE SAHARA "THE LAST KNIGHT: THE ART, ARMOR, AND AMBITION OF MAXIMILIAN I "MAKING MARVELS: SCIENCE AND SPLENDOR AT THE COURTS OF EUROPE AND, IN ANTICIPATION OF THE MUSEUM'S REOPENING, "MAKING THE MET, 1870-2020", AND "ABOUT TIME: FASHION AND DURATION". THE DEPARTMENT ALSO PUBLISHED, IN ASSOCIATION WITH PHAIDON PRESS, A VOLUME BASED ON THE HEILBRUNN TIMELINE OF ART HISTORY, "ART = DISCOVERING INFINITE CONNECTIONS IN ART HISTORY", AND RELEASED THE ANNUAL "METROPOLITAN MUSEUM JOURNALFOUR ISSUES OF THE "BULLETIN". THE DEPARTMENT'S DIGITAL PLATFORM, METPUBLICATIONS, SAW A TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN VISITORS AND PROVIDED FREE REMOTE ACCESS TO HUNDREDS OF MET TITLES. CONNECTING AUDIENCES AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE MET'S VAST RESOURCES IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR MISSION, AND FISCAL YEAR 2020 SAW MANY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THIS AREA. THE YEAR SAW THE CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE INDIAN CONSERVATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (ICFP), A PARTNERSHIP INITIATED IN 2011 AMONG THE MET; STICHTING RESTAURATIE ATELIER LIMBURG, MAASTRICHT, THE NETHERLANDS; AND THE FREER GALLERY OF ART AND THE ARTHUR M. SACKLER GALLERY, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D.C. SUPPORTED BY THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION AND INDIA'S MINISTRY OF CULTURE, THE ICFP PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT HOST INSTITUTIONS FOR EMERGING AND MID-CAREER INDIAN CONSERVATORS, WHO REPRESENT A CRITICAL RESOURCE FOR THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF INDIA'S CULTURAL HERITAGE. THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF THE WHITING FOUNDATION, IN JANUARY 2020 THE MET AND ITS PARTNERS HELD A SUCCESSFUL FINAL PUBLISHING WORKSHOP AS PART OF A MULTIYEAR INITIATIVE TO TRAIN SYRIAN AND IRAQI MUSEUM COLLEAGUES IN DOCUMENTING ENDANGERED COLLECTIONS. THROUGH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE MUSEUM'S ADELAIDE MILTON DE GROOT FUND, MET STAFF CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN EGYPT, GREECE, AND TURKMENISTAN. THE EGYPTIAN EXPEDITION, WORKING AT THE MIDDLE KINGDOM PYRAMID COMPLEX OF PHARAOH SENWOSRET III AT DAHSHUR IN FALL 2019, EXCAVATED THE KING'S SOUTH TEMPLE. A FALL 2019 RESEARCH TRIP TO TURKMENISTAN INCLUDED A TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY WITH AN UNMANNED AERIAL CAMERA IN CONDITIONS OF LOW VEGETATION AND A GEOMAGNETIC, GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY OF THE BURIED ARCHAEOLOGY. ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORK AT PALAIKASTRO, IN EASTERN CRETE, FOCUSED ON BUILDING 4 FROM THE 1986-2003 EXCAVATION CAMPAIGN OF THE MINOAN BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT. ON THE DOMESTIC FRONT, THE NETWORK INITIATIVE FOR CONSERVATION SCIENCE (NICS), A PILOT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BY THE MET'S DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WITH FUNDING FROM THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, HELD ITS THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM IN NOVEMBER 2019.

THROUGH ITS INNOVATIVE RANGE OF PROGRAMS THAT ENGAGE ARTISTS AND EXPERTS FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES, THE MUSEUM PRESENTED CRITICAL AND RELEVANT INSIGHTS THAT UNDERSCORED ITS COMMITMENT TO SERVING AS A FORUM FOR TIMELY ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE IMMERSIVE PRODUCTION OF GERTRUDE STEIN AND VIRGIL THOMSON'S OPERA "THE MOTHER OF US ALL", STAGED IN THE MET'S CHARLES ENGELHARD COURT, CHRONICLED THE STORY OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT AND MIRRORED MANY ONGOING STRUGGLES FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. A DISCUSSION ON POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXHIBITION "THE LAST KNIGHT: THE ART, ARMOR, AND AMBITION OF MAXIMILIAN I", FEATURED STRATEGISTS MARLON MARSHALL, AMY DACEY, AND J. C. POLANCO IN CONVERSATION WITH THE EXHIBITION'S CURATOR, PIERRE TERJANIAN, ARTHUR OCHS SULZBERGER CURATOR IN CHARGE, AND DREW COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY AND TODAY.

ROSENHEIM, EXAMINED THE NATURE OF CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION ACROSS DISCIPLINES. VARIOUS INITIATIVES AND EVENTS DEMONSTRATED THE MET'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, DIVERSIFYING ITS AUDIENCES, AND PROVIDING INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP IN THE FIELD. AS A PROACTIVE RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE CONTINUED TO CONVENE THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON CULTURAL ENGAGEMENT (ACCE), WHICH HELPS RAISE COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF THE MUSEUM'S DIGITAL AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. WE MARKED OCTOBER'S INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL WITH "LIBERATION: A SUMMIT FOR GIRLS AND THEIR ADVOCATES," WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER TEEN GIRLS, EDUCATORS, ADVOCATES, AND ARTISTS TO CELEBRATE THE POWER OF BLACK AND BROWN GIRLS, PRODUCED IN COLLABORATION WITH DR.

OUR INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS CONTINUED THIS YEAR THROUGH OUR LEADING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, WHICH ENGAGED FIFTY-THREE SCHOLARS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AS WELL AS THREE FELLOWS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE INDIAN CONSERVATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM MENTIONED ABOVE. CULTURAL FESTIVALS (INCLUDING THE SPRING'S VIRTUAL MUSEUM MILE EVENT) AND RELATED ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCES FOR VISITORS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DREW MORE THAN 5,000 ATTENDEES. OUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO SERVE AS A CULTURAL AND SOCIAL HUB FOR NEW YORK'S YOUNG PEOPLE HAS RESULTED IN MORE THAN 36,800 TEENS AND ALMOST 130 PARTNERS PARTICIPATING IN OUR TEENS TAKE THE MET! PROGRAM OVER THE COURSE OF SIX YEARS. DUE TO THE CLOSURE, THE FIRST VIRTUAL VERSION OF THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE IN THE SPRING AND ATTRACTED 5,394 TEENS TO A FULL DAY OF ACTIVITIES ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS OF THE MET AND THIRTY PARTNERS. AS ALWAYS, THE MUSEUM WAS AN INDISPENSABLE RESOURCE FOR TEACHING, LEARNING, TRAINING, AND RESEARCH AT ALL LEVELS, ESPECIALLY THROUGHOUT THE SPRING QUARANTINE PERIOD. THIS FISCAL YEAR, 124,789 K-12 TEACHERS AND STUDENTS TOOK PART IN 3,972 GUIDED AND SELF-GUIDED SCHOOL GROUP VISITS TO THE MET'S THREE LOCATIONS AS WELL AS VIRTUAL TOURS OF THE MET COLLECTION. OVER 1,470 TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS ALSO PARTICIPATED IN PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON INTEGRATING ART INTO THE CLASSROOM. CAPITAL PROJECTS THE MUSEUM BOTH COMPLETED AND CONTINUED WORK ON SEVERAL CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2020. THE NEW BRITISH GALLERIES OPENED MARCH 2020, JUST TEN DAYS BEFORE THE CLOSURE, FOLLOWING A THREE-YEAR RENOVATION. THE SUITE OF TEN GALLERIES, INCLUDING THREE REMARKABLE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY INTERIORS, PROVIDES A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON BRITISH DECORATIVE ARTS, DESIGN, AND SCULPTURE FROM 1500 TO 1900, FOCUSING ON THE PERIOD'S ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT AND IMPERIAL HISTORY. THE REIMAGINED GALLERIES ARE ALSO AN EXAMPLE OF OUR COMMITMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND EXPLORE THEMES OF REPRESENTATION AND DIVERSITY THROUGH OUR PROGRAMMING. THE PROJECT REPRESENTS THE FIRST COMPLETE RENOVATION OF THE GALLERIES SINCE THEY WERE ESTABLISHED MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS AGO AND FEATURES A LARGE NUMBER OF NEW ACQUISITIONS. THE PHASED REPLACEMENT OF THE SKYLIGHTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OVER THE EUROPEAN PAINTINGS GALLERIES ALSO CONTINUED APACE, WITH COMPLETION EXPECTED IN SPRING 2022. TO ENSURE THAT IMPORTANT MASTERPIECES REMAIN ON VIEW DURING THIS TIME, MANY WORKS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO OTHER GALLERIES. THE MUSEUM'S AMBITIOUS PROJECT TO RENOVATE THE MICHAEL C. ROCKEFELLER WING, WHICH COMPRISES THE 40,000-SQUARE-FOOT GALLERIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARTS OF AFRICA, OCEANIA, AND THE AMERICAS, BEGAN IN FALL 2019, WITH THE COMPLETION OF DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THE CLOSURE OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF GALLERY SPACE FOR COLLECTION STORAGE IN PREPARATION FOR THE START OF CONSTRUCTION IN 2021. THIS MAJOR REDESIGN IS A VITAL PART OF THE MUSEUM'S LONG-TERM COMMITMENT TO ADVANCING THE PRESENTATION AND STUDY OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THESE AREAS TO THE HISTORY OF WORLD ART AND WILL ALSO FEATURE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE WING AND THE REST OF THE MUSEUM. LAST FALL, WE ALSO COMPLETED A PROJECT THAT BOTH ENHANCES THE ENTRY EXPERIENCE FOR VISITORS IN THE GREAT HALL AND RESTORES THE INTEGRITY AND ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY OF THAT MAJESTIC SPACE. THE CORNERSTONE OF THE PROJECT IS A NEW TICKETING ROOM SO THAT VISITORS NOW ENJOY UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS INTO THE EGYPTIAN AND GREEK AND ROMAN GALLERIES. THE MUSEUM ALSO MADE CONTINUED PROGRESS ON ITS MULTIYEAR PLAN TO UPGRADE AND REPLACE VITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
