Part III, Line 1A, PART III Line 4	The Museum has extensive collections of specimens and artifacts that constitute a record of life on Earth. These valuable, and sometimes irreplaceable, collections have been acquired through field expeditions, contributions and purchases since the Museum's inception and represent one of the largest and most important natural history collections in the world. New collection areas include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples as well as large scientific databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections provide a resource for scientists around the world, and grow significantly each year. In conformity with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of the Museum's collections is not reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Museum's collections policy requires that the proceeds from the sale of collection items be used for acquisitions to the collections. If the assets used to purchase the collection items are from restricted funds, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets in that fund until an acquisition is made.
Part V, LINE 4	THE MUSEUM'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS INCLUDE BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES' DESIGNATED FUNDS. THESE FUNDS ARE INVESTED UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF THE BOARD'S INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND ARE USED TO SUPPORT OPERATING, CAPITAL AND OTHER ACTIVITIES PURSUANT TO APPROPRIATION RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARD'S BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
PART X FIN 48 (ASC 740)	U.S. GAAP requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Museum does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions for the open tax years of 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 that would have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition.

Part I Line 24	The Museum received 3 contributions of archeological artifacts, consisting of 29 items.
Part I Line 33	The Museum has extensive collections of specimens and artifacts that constitute a record of life on Earth. These valuable, and sometimes irreplaceable, collections have been acquired through field expeditions, contributions and purchases since the Museum's inception and represent one of the largest and most important natural history collections in the world. New collection areas include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples as well as large scientific databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections provide a resource for scientists around the world, and grow significantly each year. In conformity with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of the Museum's collections is not reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Museum's collections policy requires that the proceeds from the sale of collection items be used for acquisitions to the collections. If the assets used to purchase the collection items are from restricted funds, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets in that fund until an acquisition is made.

Part I, Question 1	The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) is one of the world's preeminent scientific, educational, and cultural institutions. It is a complex and diverse organization that is renowned for its exhibitions and scientific collections of more than 33 million specimens and artifacts, which serve as a field guide to life on Earth and present a panorama of the world's cultures. Its 18 acre campus bordering Central Park, New York is a complex of 27 buildings that house 45 exhibition halls; a Planetarium; a Graduate School conferring the Ph.D. in comparative biology, the only U.S. museum authorized to do so; a specialized natural history library; an institute of scientific research in comparative genomics; a center for conservation training; and education facilities that offer the Master of Arts in teaching and professional development for some 4,000 teachers annually. It is also one of the largest and most visited museums in New York with approximately 5 million visitors annually. The Museum was founded as a nonprofit, educational corporation in 1869 by a special act of the Legislature of the State of New York. It is located in the Theodore Roosevelt Park in the Manhattan borough of New York City, the largest city in the United States with a growing and diverse population of 8.4 million and the highest tourism of any city in the United States. Since its founding in 1869, the Museum has advanced its global mission to discover, interpret, and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe through a wide-ranging program of scientific research, education, and exhibition. The Museum's scientific research, educational programs and exhibitions operate under the auspices of the Board of Regents of the State of New York. AMNH has a staff of approximately 200 full-time curators, faculty and post-docs who conduct research in cutting edge facilities on-site from over 100 global field expeditions a year and publish their research in peer-reviewed journals. The research is supported by several federal agencies including the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration among others. AMNH education programs deliver professional development programs to over 4,000 K-12 science teachers each year and its new massive open on-line courses for teacher education have enrolled over 50,000 U.S. and international students. After-hours public programs provide the community with access to scientists from research institutes and universities located in the United States and around the world who present their current work and discuss new discoveries and emerging issues in their fields. Early childhood programs are offered to families and provide hands-on experiences in science exploration. AMNH also produces and distributes educational resource materials for use in classrooms, libraries and community organizations to support science teaching and learning in New York City and State and throughout the United States and internationally via digital media. AMNH has 45 permanent exhibition halls that are open to the public 363 days a year with attendance of about 5 million annually, including approximately 500,000 students and teachers. Many millions more visit on-line. AMNH maintains a robust schedule of special exhibitions and planetarium shows that open in New York and then travel to other U.S. and international venues. OVERVIEW AND FY2014 HIGHLIGHTS SCIENCE The Museum's science and research endeavors remain at the core of the Museum's work, and Museum scientific staff continued to make important new discoveries in FY2014 in fields such as anthropology, vertebrate zoology, invertebrate zoology, paleontology, physical sciences (including Earth and planetary sciences and astrophysics), genomics, and conservation biology. Scientific Research and Scholarship Since its founding, the Museum has pursued a comprehensive scientific research program to explore and advance understanding of the biological, physical, and cultural world. This scientific enterprise also provides a foundation for the Museum's work in education and exhibitions. Together, these efforts help ensure that the Museum remains a world premier institution for 21st century discovery. The Museum's scientific staff, including tenured and tenure-track curators, conduct research in genomics, astrophysics, zoology, paleontology, earth and planetary sciences, and anthropology; publish their work in peer-reviewed journals; and obtain funding from various federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health. The Museum's scientific work spans the globe, with researchers engaging in over 100 interdisciplinary expeditions for research and specimen/artifact collection in a variety of countries. This year saw the launch of the Museum's inaugural Explore 21 Expedition to the Solomon Islands, which took place in September 2013. This expedition was led by Curator Dr. John Sparks along with Assistant Curator Dr. Eunsoo Kim and Research Scientist Dr. Chris Filardi. The expedition was made possible with the generous support of the Dalio Foundation, which also provided the opportunity to use the Research Vessel Alucia. In keeping with the objectives of Explore 21, the Solomon Islands Expedition was an example of 21st Century cutting-edge exploration, equipped with some of the most advanced of today's technology for marine exploration, including submersibles outfitted with new high definition color cameras and specialized lighting. The team discovered new "creatures of light"-namely, biofluorescent and bioluminescent species-and thus achieved a better understanding of these luminous ecosystems, not only for fishes, but also marine invertebrates, such as the corals. Dr. Kim was also able to identify many new microbial species, some of which doubtless are key to the nutrient balance and sustainability of these marine ecosystems. Certain microbial species may also prove to exhibit chemical and metabolic pathways of great interest to studies in biomedicine, as in the case of naturally-occurring bioluminescence. The Solomons proved to be ideal for these prospects as virtually no one has explored their deep reefs and open-water. On-site, the Museum continues to develop large-scale databases housing detailed information on scientific collections and studies. These databases and the results contained therein provide new platforms for interactive research and support the Museum's ongoing efforts to further enhance its capacity to analyze complex biological systems. These discoveries and other Museum research continued to be conducted on-site and off-site at the New York Genome Center. The Museum maintains three molecular biological laboratories that provide workbenches and facilities on-site for more than 40 scientists and students conducting genomic research. For example, its Microscopy and Imaging Facility (MIF) provides research staff with time and training on advanced imaging technology, including a computed tomography scanner, two scanning electron microscopes, a laser scanning confocal microscope, specimen preparation instrumentation, and a digital image processing suite. The Museum's cross-disciplinary research centers include the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics (SICG), which employs molecular technology to extend the Museum's longstanding leadership in comparative biology to the genomic arena, and the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC), which uses applied science to help address the loss of biodiversity worldwide. The Museum continues its comparative genomics work with the New York Genome Center. The Center is a major metropolitan resource for the most advanced research in next-generation gene sequencing and serves the Museum as well as the city's most prominent universities and biomedical centers. In collaboration with other Genome Center institutions, the Museum is now doing whole genome sequencing of other key species. The scientific staff also continues to publish its work in peer-reviewed journals, with approximately 250 articles published in FY2014. The Museum continued to expand its research staff in FY2014 as well. In January 2014 the Museum was joined by two new Assistant Curators. Dr. Brian Smith is now working in the Department of Ornithology, Division of Vertebrate Zoology. His already substantial number of publications disclose his studies of the evolutionary origins, speciational history, and biogeography of birds. His research is also rooted in Next-Generation Gene Sequencing, and advancement integral to our Architecture of Life (ArcLife) initiative. Dr. Melanie Hopkins joined the Division of Paleontology. Her research, represented by a substantial number of publications, centers on examining rates of evolutionary change in the fossil record, with particular focus on trilobites, the fossil sea creatures with hard segments, many appendages and head shields.
