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 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." THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART'S UNPARALLELED COLLECTION, GROUNDBREAKING EXHIBITIONS AND SCHOLARSHIP, AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS OFFER POWERFUL WAYS TO EXPERIENCE MORE THAN FIVE MILLENNIA OF ART AND CULTURE. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, OUR WIDE-RANGING ACTIVITIES WERE BOTH IMPACTFUL AND WELL RECEIVED. TOTAL ATTENDANCE WAS MORE THAN 7 MILLION VISITORS FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, DEMONSTRATING THE STRENGTH OF OUR MISSION TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THE ART OF ALL TIMES AND CULTURES. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019 THE MUSEUM ALSO BEGAN ACTIVELY PLANNING FOR ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION IN 2020, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO CELEBRATING WITH OUR GLOBAL AUDIENCE IN WAYS THAT ALLOW THE MAGNIFICENCE AND RELEVANCE OF THE MET TO SHINE. BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF OUR MANY ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2019. ATTENDANCE FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW THE MUSEUM WELCOMED MORE THAN 7 MILLION VISITORS (7,027,858) TO ITS THREE LOCATIONS--THE MET FIFTH AVENUE, THE MET CLOISTERS, AND THE MET BREUER--IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, WHICH WAS ALSO THE FIRST FULL FISCAL YEAR UNDER THE MUSEUM'S NEW ADMISSIONS POLICY. CONTINUALLY ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST VISITED TOURIST ATTRACTIONS FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES, THE MET DRAWS A WIDE RANGE OF VISITORS. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS ACCOUNTED FOR 28 PERCENT OF VISITORS, LOCAL VISITORS FROM THE FIVE BOROUGHS MADE UP 35 PERCENT OF THE OVERALL TOTAL, AND 16 PERCENT WERE FROM THE TRISTATE AREA. THE MET CLOISTERS DREW 325,326 VISITORS IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, A RECORD FOR THE LOCATION THAT WAS FUELED BY THE ATTENDANCE FOR "HEAVENLY BODIES: FASHION AND THE CATHOLIC IMAGINATION", AND THE MET BREUER SAW MORE THAN 326,392. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY CONNECTING AUDIENCES AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE MET'S VAST RESOURCES IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR MISSION, AND FISCAL YEAR 2019 SAW MANY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THIS AREA. IN THE FIELD OF CONSERVATION, THE MET CONTINUES ITS LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE INDIAN CONSERVATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (ICFP), A MULTIYEAR PARTNERSHIP INITIATED IN 2011 BETWEEN THE MET; STICHTING RESTAURATIE ATELIER LIMBURG, MAASTRICHT, THE NETHERLANDS; THE FREER GALLERY OF ART AND THE ARTHUR M. SACKLER GALLERY, SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE, WASHINGTON, D.C.; AND THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, SUPPORTED BY THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION AND THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE, INDIA. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES PRACTICAL, INTENSIVE TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EMERGING AND MID-CAREER INDIAN CONSERVATORS AT HOST INSTITUTIONS. THE NETWORK INITIATIVE FOR CONSERVATION SCIENCE (NICS), A PILOT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BY THE MET AND ITS DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION, HELD ITS SECOND ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM IN NOVEMBER 2018. NICS AIMS TO ADVANCE RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP IN ART HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, CONSERVATION, AND SCIENCE BY SHARING THE MUSEUM'S CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH FACILITIES AND EXPERTISE WITH A GROUP OF PARTNER INSTITUTIONS, INCLUDING TEN NEW YORK MUSEUMS. CONSERVATORS FROM THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM, THE CENTRAL PARK CONSERVANCY, THE FRICK COLLECTION, THE HISPANIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA, THE MORGAN LIBRARY AND MUSEUM, AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY PARTICIPATED IN THIS YEAR'S SYMPOSIUM. THE MET CONTINUED TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ITS PROJECT TO ASSIST SYRIAN AND IRAQI MUSEUM COLLEAGUES IN THEIR EFFORTS TO DOCUMENT AND PUBLISH ENDANGERED COLLECTIONS, AN INITIATIVE MADE POSSIBLE BY THE WHITING FOUNDATION. IN JANUARY 2019, THE MET AND ITS PARTNERS, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND THE AMERICAN CENTER OF ORIENTAL RESEARCH (ACOR), ORGANIZED A WORKSHOP IN AMMAN, JORDAN, THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER THIRTEEN STAFF MEMBERS FROM THE IRAQ, BASRAH, MOSUL, AND SLEMANI MUSEUMS FOR SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN WRITING LABELS AND TEXT, RESEARCHING OBJECTS, PREPARING IMAGES FOR PUBLICATION, CREATING WEBSITES, AND PRODUCING PUBLICATION-READY COLLECTION-RELATED CONTENT. THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF THE MUSEUM'S ADELAIDE MILTON DE GROOT FUND, MET STAFF CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN GREECE, TURKMENISTAN, AND GUATEMALA. AT PALAIKASTRO IN EASTERN CRETE, IN AN EXCAVATION CONDUCTED UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS, WORK THIS YEAR FOCUSED ON THE STUDY OF BUILDING 4 FROM THE 1986-2003 EXCAVATION CAMPAIGN OF THE MINOAN BRONZE AGE SETTLEMENT. THE MET INITIATED A NEW ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROJECT IN APRIL FOLLOWING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SIGNED WITH THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE IN TURKMENISTAN FOR FIELDWORK AT THE SITE OF DANDANAKAN/DASH RABAT IN THE MARY PROVINCE, A MEDIEVAL CARAVAN TOWN. THE WORK IS CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH COLLEAGUES FROM THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION FOR THE PROTECTION, STUDY AND RESTORATION OF CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS OF TURKMENISTAN, AND THE ANCIENT MERV HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL PARK. IN 2018, THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARTS OF AFRICA, OCEANIA, AND THE AMERICAS PARTICIPATED IN A THIRD SEASON OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELDWORK AND CONSERVATION AT THE SITE OF PIEDRAS NEGRAS, GUATEMALA, WORKING WITH THE GUATEMALAN INSTITUTE OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY, BROWN UNIVERSITY, BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY, AND THE PEABODY MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

COLLECTION AND ACQUISITIONS IN FISCAL YEAR 2019 THE MUSEUM MADE A NUMBER OF KEY ACQUISITIONS THAT ADD NEW PERSPECTIVES AND POSE NEW QUESTIONS, KEEPING THE MET A RELEVANT AND DYNAMIC INSTITUTION. KEY ACQUISITIONS INCLUDED TWO WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN PAINTINGS: A 1636 PORTRAIT OF QUEEN HENRIETTA MARIA BY THE FLEMISH PAINTER ANTHONY VAN DYCK (1599-1641) AND ONE OF THE FIRST POINTILLIST PORTRAITS BY THEO VAN RYSSELBERGHE (BELGIAN, 1862-1926), TITLED "LITTLE DENISE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF GREEK AND ROMAN ART, AN EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF ROMAN SCULPTURE--AN IMPRESSIVE MARBLE WELLHEAD, OR PUTEAL, OF THE SECOND CENTURY; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ASIAN ART, A MASTERWORK IN THE CORPUS OF IMPERIAL-QUALITY DEVOTIONAL BRONZE ICONS PRODUCED UNDER CHOLA PATRONAGE DEPICTING THE FORM OF SHIVA AS DESTROYER OF EVIL; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MEDIEVAL ART AND THE CLOISTERS, AN ILLUSTRATED MANUSCRIPT OF THE MASTER OF CLAUDE DE FRANCE, THE CELEBRATED "BOOK OF FLOWER STUDIES", (CA. 1510-15); FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN SCULPTURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS, A LIFE-SIZED MARBLE BUST OF A BOUND WOMAN OF AFRICAN DESCENT BY THE FRENCH SCULPTOR JEAN-BAPTISTE CARPEAUX (1827-1875) THAT REFLECTS ON THE HORRORS OF SLAVERY FOLLOWING ITS ABOLITION IN FRANCE IN 1848 AND THE CLOSE OF THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR IN 1865; FOR THE AMERICAN WING COLLECTION, A RARE PICTURE BY ASHCAN ARTIST JOHN SLOAN (1871-1951), "GRAY AND BRASS", THAT JUXTAPOSES SOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCE IN A SINGLE IMAGE AND CAPTURES THE VIBRANT SPECTACLE OF LOOKING AND BEING SEEN THAT CHARACTERIZED EARLY TWENTIETH-CENTURY CITY LIFE; AND FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART, A MAJOR WORK BY ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST LIVING SCULPTORS, CHARLES RAY (AMERICAN, BORN 1953), THE MONUMENTAL BLACK GRANITE RELIEF "TWO HORSES" (2019).

CONSERVATION AND RESEARCH THE MUSEUM'S CURATORIAL PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY NUMEROUS SERVICES AND RESOURCES. 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. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, 10,784 VISITS WERE MADE BY OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS, AND 1,930 NEW OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS WERE REGISTERED. THE MUSEUM LIBRARIES CIRCULATED 65,915 ITEMS TO READERS. ELEVEN WEEKLY SESSIONS OF STORY TIME IN NOLEN LIBRARY REACHED OVER 17,333 CHILDREN AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. THE LIBRARY CONTINUED TO DIGITIZE RARE COLLECTION MATERIALS, BOTH PRINTED AND MANUSCRIPT, AND TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ONLINE, AVERAGING 188,458 PAGE HITS PER MONTH (COMPARED TO 159,598 IN FISCAL YEAR 2018). THE MET IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S PREEMINENT ART-BOOK PUBLISHERS, AND IN FISCAL YEAR 2019 THE MUSEUM'S PUBLICATIONS AND EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT HAD ONE OF ITS MOST ACTIVE YEARS, PRODUCING TWENTY-SEVEN NEW TITLES AND EIGHT REPRINTS. AMONG THESE WERE FOURTEEN EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, INCLUDING THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL "DELACROIX", "ARMENIA: ART, RELIGION, AND TRADE IN THE MIDDLE AGES", "THE TALE OF GENJI: A JAPANESE CLASSIC ILLUMINATED", "PLAY IT LOUD: INSTRUMENTS OF ROCK & ROLL", AND "CAMP: NOTES ON FASHION", AS WELL AS CATALOGUES ON THE DAGUERREOTYPES OF GIRAULT DE PRANGEY, NATIVE AMERICAN ART, PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MOON, AND JEWELRY. IN ADDITION, THE DEPARTMENT PUBLISHED VOLUMES HIGHLIGHTING THE MET COLLECTION OF FRENCH PAINTINGS (AVAILABLE ONLINE AND IN PRINT), ISLAMIC CALLIGRAPHY, AND MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART, AS WELL AS A NEW EDITION OF THE "METROPOLITAN MUSEUM GUIDE". IT INAUGURATED A PICTURE ALBUMS SERIES TO ACCOMPANY SELECT EXHIBITIONS, AND PUBLISHED THE ANNUAL "METROPOLITAN MUSEUM JOURNALFOUR ISSUES OF THE "BULLETIN". EDUCATION THROUGH ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR OF INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING, SCHOLARLY ENDEAVORS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT INCREASED THE DIVERSITY AND PARTICIPATION OF THE MET AUDIENCES IN FISCAL YEAR 2019. WHILE FOSTERING GREATER COLLABORATION AMONG COLLEAGUES WITHIN THE MET AS WELL AS LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY, THE DEPARTMENT ALSO CONTINUED WORK ON ITS KEY PRIORITIES TO SOLIDIFY ITS POSITION AS A LEADER AND INFLUENCER IN THE FIELD; MAKE THE MET RESPONSIVE AND RELEVANT, SERVING AS A PLATFORM FOR TIMELY ISSUES; DEEPEN THE MUSEUM'S PRESENCE AND IMPACT BEYOND ITS WALLS AND INTO COMMUNITIES; AND ESTABLISH GALLERIES AND OTHER SPACES AS ACTIVE LABORATORIES FOR SCHOLARS, ARTISTS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, THE DEPARTMENT SERVED OVER TWELVE PERCENT OF THE MUSEUM'S MORE THAN 7 MILLION VISITORS THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 37,400 PROGRAMS AND TOURS THAT DREW OVER 830,000 PARTICIPANTS. ARTISTS CONTINUED TO BE CRITICAL PARTNERS. SOPRANO JULIA BULLOCK, THE 2018-19 METLIVEARTS ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, CREATED FIVE PROGRAMS IN COLLABORATION WITH GUEST ARTISTS, SUCH AS THE MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST TYSHAWN SOREY, TO EXAMINE ISSUES OF EXOTICISM, IDENTITY, SEGREGATION, AND CULTURAL EXCLUSION IN THE CONTEXT OF AND THROUGH THE COLLECTION. AS PART OF THE THREE-YEAR KENAN PROJECT LAUNCHED IN FALL 2017, THE MET, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW YORK UNIVERSITY'S TISCH SCHOOL OF THE ARTS CONTINUED TO CONVENE NINETEEN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN A PROFESSIONAL-LEARNING COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF THE ARTS IN AND WITH COMMUNITIES. NEW YORK-BASED ARTISTS RASHIDA BUMBRAY AND MIGUEL LUCIANO WORKED WITH MUSEUM EDUCATORS AND CURATORIAL STAFF TO LEAD THE KENAN PROJECT'S CIVIC PRACTICE SEMINAR, FORGING VITAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE HISTORY AND COLLECTION OF THE MET AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF BEDFORD-STUYVESANT AND EAST HARLEM. ARTIST PARTICIPANTS IN THE SEMINAR WERE TRAINED IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS. GROUNDBREAKING EDUCATION PROGRAMMING RELATED TO THE MET COLLECTION AND EXHIBITIONS FOREGROUNDED TIMELY CONVERSATIONS CONNECTING WORKS OF ART TO CURRENT EVENTS. EVENTS INSPIRED BY THE COSTUME INSTITUTE EXHIBITION "CAMP: NOTES ON FASHION", FOR EXAMPLE, INCLUDED A COLLEGE NIGHT THAT ATTRACTED MORE THAN 1,800 STUDENTS; A CONVERSATION EXPLORING THE CONCEPT OF CAMP IN PERFORMANCE, BALLROOM STYLE, POP CULTURE, AND HIGH FASHION BETWEEN BROADWAY PERFORMER AND ACTOR BILLY PORTER AND CULTURAL CRITIC, DEEJAY, AND ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF QUEER STUDIES AT VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, MADISON MOORE; AND A "BATTLE OF THE LEGENDS" VOGUEING COMPETITION ON DAVID H. KOCH PLAZA. TO COMMEMORATE THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL UPRISING, EDUCATION PRESENTED METFRIDAYS-PRIDE, A MUSEUM-WIDE EVENT FEATURING TALKS THAT EXAMINED RECENT CIVIL RIGHTS VICTORIES THROUGH THE LENS OF THE MET COLLECTION, ART MAKING, A PANEL DISCUSSION ON GENDER, AND MORE. CULTURAL FESTIVALS WITH ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCES DESIGNED FOR VISITORS OF ALL AGES AND WITH VARIED ABILITIES DREW MORE THAN 15,300 ATTENDEES. WE ALSO LAUNCHED CRIP THE MET, AN INITIATIVE THAT ENGAGED DISABILITY SCHOLARS AND ACTIVISTS, CURATORS, EDUCATORS, AND ARTISTS IN DISCUSSION AROUND REPRESENTATIONS OF DISABILITY IN THE MUSEUM, WITH THE GOAL OF DEVELOPING INTERPRETIVE GUIDELINES FOR WRITING ABOUT DISABILITY AND ART. OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE AS A CULTURAL AND SOCIAL HUB FOR NEW YORK'S YOUNG PEOPLE HAS RESULTED IN MORE THAN 28,000 TEENS AND ALMOST 130 PARTNERS PARTICIPATING IN OUR TEENS TAKE THE MET PROGRAM OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS. THE MET CONTINUED TO BE AN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR TEACHING, LEARNING, TRAINING, AND RESEARCH AT ALL LEVELS. THIS FISCAL YEAR, 237,763 K - 12 TEACHERS AND STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN 6,943 GUIDED AND SELF-GUIDED SCHOOL-GROUP VISITS TO THE MET'S THREE LOCATIONS. MORE THAN 2,600 TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS ALSO TOOK PART IN PROGRAMS FOCUSED ON INTEGRATING ART INTO THE CLASSROOM.
FORM 990, PART III - CONTINUED	DIGITAL THE MET HAS EMERGED AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN BOTH ITS DIGITAL PRACTICES AND REACH. IN OCTOBER 2018, WE LAUNCHED THE MET COLLECTION API (APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE). BUILDING ON THE SUCCESS OF THE MUSEUM'S OPEN ACCESS POLICY ANNOUNCED IN 2017, THE API ENABLES ANY THIRD PARTY TO SUSTAINABLY INTEGRATE THE MET COLLECTION INTO THEIR WEBSITE, ENSURING THAT UP-TO-DATE VERSIONS OF MORE THAN 400,000 IMAGES AND DATA ARE AVAILABLE TO USERS WITHOUT RESTRICTION. IN RECOGNITION OF THE CONTINUALLY EXPANDING POTENTIAL FOR OPEN ACCESS TO BROADEN PUBLIC EXPOSURE TO THESE IMAGES AND SCHOLARLY RECORDS, THE MET COLLABORATED WITH MICROSOFT AND THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT) TO EXPLORE THE WAYS IN WHICH AUDIENCES ENGAGE WITH THE COLLECTION THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES. THE RESULTS OF THE COLLABORATION WERE ANNOUNCED IN FEBRUARY 2019. LAST SPRING'S "PLAY IT LOUD: INSTRUMENTS OF ROCK & ROLL" WAS THE FIRST EXHIBITION TO FEATURE A NEW WEB-BASED DIGITAL RESOURCE CALLED THE PRIMER, WHICH ALLOWS AUDIENCES ALL OVER THE WORLD TO ENGAGE WITH THE ART IN OUR GALLERIES THROUGH STORIES, VIDEOS, AND IMAGES. GOING FORWARD, PRIMERS WILL BE OFFERED FOR MANY OF OUR MAJOR EXHIBITIONS TO HELP PREPARE VISITORS FOR AN UPCOMING VISIT OR TO EXTEND THEIR EXPERIENCE AFTERWARD. THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE ENDED THE FISCAL YEAR WITH MORE THAN 30 MILLION VISITS, AND OUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH HAS BEEN SIMILARLY BROAD: ITS TWITTER FEED HAS MORE THAN 4.3 MILLION FOLLOWERS, ITS WEBBY AWARD-WINNING INSTAGRAM HAS 3.2 MILLION FOLLOWERS, AND ITS FACEBOOK ACCOUNT HAS MORE THAN 1.9 MILLION FOLLOWERS. CAPITAL PROJECTS THE MUSEUM COMPLETED THE RENOVATION AND REINTERPRETATION OF ITS ANDR MERTENS GALLERIES FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN FISCAL YEAR 2019. THE THIRD AND FINAL PHASE OF THE THREE-YEAR PROJECT OPENED IN FEBRUARY, FOLLOWING EARLIER GALLERY REOPENINGS IN JULY 2017 AND MARCH 2018, AND INCLUDES OVER 250 MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS OF VARIOUS ORIGINS AND KINDS AS WELL AS A CONCERT SPACE WITH ADVANCED RECORDING AND SOUND SYSTEMS. WE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THE RENOVATION OF THE TEN GALLERIES THAT PRESENT BRITISH DECORATIVE ARTS AND SCULPTURE FROM THE EARLY SIXTEENTH THROUGH THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND THAT INCLUDE THREE HISTORIC INTERIORS. THE GALLERIES ARE SCHEDULED TO REOPEN IN MARCH 2020. WORK TO REPLACE THE SKYLIGHTS AND MAKE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE GALLERIES FOR EUROPEAN PAINTINGS FROM 1250 TO 1800 ALSO CONTINUED THIS YEAR. BEGUN IN AUGUST 2018, THIS MAJOR PROJECT TO ENHANCE VISITOR EXPERIENCE WILL BE COMPLETED OVER THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
