| Facts And Circumstances Test | PURSUANT TO TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(F)(3), THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT MEETS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST AS OUTLINED BELOW.TEN-PERCENT-OF-SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS "PEM") SATISFIES THIS REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THE PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM GOVERNMENTAL UNITS, FROM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OR FROM A COMBINATION OF THESE SOURCES EXCEEDS 10% OF TOTAL SUPPORT. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT REQUIREMENT. THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN ORGANIZED AND OPERATED IN A MANNER TO ATTRACT NEW AND BROAD-BASED PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. A STAFF OF EIGHTEEN DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONALS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING EXTENSIVE AND VARIED FORMS OF FUNDRAISING DESIGNED TO ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES, CORPORATIONS AND FOUNDATIONS. THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED INCLUDE SOLICITATIONS COMMUNICATED THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS - EMAIL, MAIL, PHONE AND IN-PERSON. FUNDRAISING EVENTS ARE CONDUCTED TO GENERATE ANNUAL SUPPORT AS WELL AS TO FOSTER RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO FUTURE GIVING. THE INSTITUTIONAL GIVING STAFF IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEKING SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM'S MAJOR PROGRAMMATIC EFFORTS BY PRODUCING GRANT PROPOSALS DIRECTED TO BOTH GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. ACROSS ALL OF THESE FUNDRAISING AREAS, MORE THAN 30,122 PROSPECTS AND EXISTING DONORS WERE SOLICITED FOR SUPPORT DURING 2014, RESULTING IN 10,535 GIFTS COMING FROM 9,256 DIFFERENT DONORS. OTHER PUBLIC SUPPORT FACTORS 1. PERCENTAGE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FACTOR. THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2014 IS 30.09%, WHICH IS WELL ABOVE THE 10% TEST THRESHOLD. AS THE MUSEUM IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF A MAJOR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, INDIVIDUAL SOLICITATIONS AND GIFTS TEND TO BE LARGER THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED DURING A NON-CAMPAIGN PERIOD WITH THE RESULTING IMPACT OF LOWERING THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE. 2. SOURCES OF SUPPORT FACTOR. THE COLLECTIONS OF THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE FOR 215 YEARS, WHICH RANKS IT AMONG THE FIRST AMERICAN MUSEUMS TO HAVE SUCH A PUBLIC MANDATE. THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM TRACES ITS ORIGINS TO 1799 WHEN A GROUP OF SALEM-BASED, INTERNATIONAL, SEA-GOING BUSINESS LEADERS WERE AMONG THE FIRST AMERICANS TO DEVELOP TRADING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNTRIES IN ASIA, AFRICA, OCEANIA AND BEYOND. THESE EARLY AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS BROUGHT BACK MAGNIFICENT ART AND ARTIFACTS FROM THE CULTURES THEY ENCOUNTERED AND WERE EAGER TO SHARE WHAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED WITH THE LARGER PUBLIC. ALTHOUGH MORE THAN 200 YEARS HAVE PASSED, THE MUSEUM'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS AS STRONG AS EVER. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE AMONG THE FINEST OF THEIR KIND AND ENCOMPASS AN UNRIVALED SPECTRUM OF CULTURES AND GENRES, INCLUDING AMERICAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, AMERICAN DECORATIVE ART, MARITIME ART, NATIVE AMERICAN ART, ASIAN ART AND ARCHITECTURE, ASIAN EXPORT ART, AFRICAN ART, OCEANIC ART, PHOTOGRAPHY AND CONTEMPORARY ART. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM OPERATES THE PHILLIPS LIBRARY, ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST IMPORTANT MUSEUM-BASED COLLECTIONS OF RARE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS. THE BREADTH OF THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS AND OFFERINGS IS UNQUESTIONABLY VARIED, SO THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF APPEALING TO A WIDE VARIETY OF INTERESTS, WHICH IN TURN HELPS TO BUILD ATTENDANCE, COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION, COMMITMENT AND PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT. IN RECENT YEARS, THE MUSEUM HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND ITS FIELDS OF INTEREST; FOR EXAMPLE, CONTEMPORARY ART WAS ADDED AS A NEW CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT IN 2009. CONTEMPORARY ART, IN PARTICULAR, IS ONE AVENUE FOR ENGAGING YOUNGER PEOPLE, THEREBY HELPING TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS AND SUPPORTERS. BY EXPANDING THE PROGRAMMATIC SCOPE, THE MUSEUM HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONNECTING WITH A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE, RATHER THAN LIMITING ITS APPEAL TO A FEW. AS NOTED PREVIOUSLY, THE MUSEUM RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM 9,256 DIFFERENT DONORS DURING 2014. 3. REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY FACTOR. DURING 2014, 22 INDIVIDUALS SERVED ON PEM'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL OF THE TRUSTEES ARE INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS AND REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF VIEWS AND INTERESTS. AMONG THE MUSEUM'S TRUSTEES ARE INDIVIDUALS REPRESENTING DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, FROM A LOCAL COMMUNITY LEADER IN SALEM TO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE INDIAN COMMUNITIES, BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN INDIA. PEM'S BOARD INCLUDES INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE THEMSELVES COLLECTORS AND/OR EXPERTS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF ART, INCLUDING JAPANESE ART, RARE LIBRARY MATERIALS, AND DUTCH AND FLEMISH ART. ONE TRUSTEE HAS BEEN INVOLVED DIRECTLY IN OPERATING A MUSEUM FOR CONTEMPORARY ART. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE MUSEUM'S BOARD HAVE INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, INCLUDING THE CURRENT NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN, A FORMER UNIVERSITY EDUCATOR, A MUSEUM DOCENT, AND AN INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING AND OPERATING A FOUNDATION DEVOTED TO SUPPORTING K-12 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES. VARIOUS AREAS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ARE ALSO REPRESENTED BY NUMEROUS BOARD MEMBERS, INCLUDING SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF REAL ESTATE, BUSINESS, JOURNALISM, LAW, INVESTING, LAND PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION. 4. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES FACTOR. DURING 2014, THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM REPORTED MORE THAN 267,000 ON-SITE VISITORS, COMING FROM BOTH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THE MAIN MUSEUM GALLERIES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SIX DAYS PER WEEK, WHICH REPRESENTS ALMOST 2,200 HOURS ANNUALLY DURING WHICH THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO THE VARIOUS COLLECTIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED. TO ENCOURAGE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND WITH STUDENTS, ADMISSION IS FREE FOR RESIDENTS OF SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS AND FOR YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF SEVENTEEN. THE MUSEUM'S CAMPUS ALSO INCLUDES NUMEROUS PARKS AND GARDENS, AND 24 HISTORIC PROPERTIES, INCLUDING YIN YU TANG, THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF CHINESE DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE ON DISPLAY IN THE UNITED STATES. PEM'S PHILLIPS LIBRARY, WHICH IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LARGEST RESEARCH LIBRARIES IN NEW ENGLAND, IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SCHOLARS AND RESEARCHERS. ACROSS THE CAMPUS, THERE IS 123,000 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACE FOR USE IN DISPLAYING AND INTERPRETING THE MUSEUM'S VAST COLLECTIONS AND FOR PRESENTING CHANGING EXHIBITIONS, OF WHICH THERE WERE TWELVE OPENED DURING 2014. ANNUALLY, THE MUSEUM'S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND INTERPRETATION CONDUCTS HUNDREDS OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ADVANCE ARTS LEARNING AND APPRECIATION. ALTHOUGH THESE PROGRAMS ARE DELIVERED IN MANY SPACES THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS, THE MUSEUM HAS DEDICATED 13,000 SQUARE FEET SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE PURPOSES. THE WIDE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS OFFERED IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND ENGAGE VISITORS OF ALL AGES WITH DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS, KNOWLEDGE, INTERESTS, PREFERENCES AND NEEDS. IN AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT A BROAD AUDIENCE IS SERVED, THE MUSEUM FOCUSES ON SEVERAL BROAD AUDIENCE CATEGORIES: K-12 STUDENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILIES AND ADULTS FROM COLLEGE AGE THROUGH SENIOR CITIZENS. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE: | EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLICATIONS: DUE IN LARGE PART TO ITS MANY POPULAR EXHIBITIONS, THE MUSEUM CONCLUDED ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR, PRESENTING EXCELLENT AND DYNAMIC EXAMPLES OF ART AND CULTURE TO MORE THAN 288,000 PEOPLE DURING 2014 - 267,000 ON-SITE VISITORS IN SALEM, THE HIGHEST ATTENDANCE IN THE MUSEUM'S HISTORY, AND APPROXIMATELY 21,000 PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED PEM-ORGANIZED EXHIBITIONS PRESENTED AT OTHER VENUES. APPROXIMATELY 15% OF GENERAL ADMISSION VISITORS ALSO VISITED YIN YU TANG, THE ONLY COMPLETE QING DYNASTY HOUSE OUTSIDE OF CHINA AND A MODEL IN INTERNATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION. THE MUSEUM'S 2014 EXHIBITION CALENDAR INCLUDED MANY STYLES AND SOURCES OF ART AND CULTURE. THE MUSEUM OPENED TWELVE NEW SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN 2014, PRESENTED TWO EXHIBITIONS IN OTHER VENUES, AND CONTINUED FIVE SHOWS THAT OPENED IN PRIOR YEARS, INCLUDING: -FREEPORT [NO. 005]: MICHAEL LIN (MARCH 22, 2012 THROUGH 2014): TAIWANESE ARTIST MICHAEL LIN IS WELL-KNOWN INTERNATIONALLY FOR PAINTING VAST, BOLD DESIGNS ON SOBER ARCHITECTURAL SETTINGS, INTERVENTIONS THAT INJECTED A VIBRANT SENSE OF PLAY. AT PEM LIN SPOTLIGHTS THE MUSEUM'S RENOWNED COLLECTION OF ASIAN EXPORT ART BY CREATING A SPRAWLING MURAL OF ORIGINAL ARMORIAL AND HERALDIC MOTIFS THAT CLIMB UP THE WALLS OF THE MELLON STAIRCASE AND ALONG THE FLOOR OF THE EXPORT SILVER GALLERIES. TO ANIMATE THE HISTORY OF TRADE BETWEEN CHINA AND THE WEST, LIN ALSO CREATED A LARGE-SCALE INSTALLATION COMPRISED OF HUNDREDS OF REPLICAS OF PEM'S MR. NOBODY, ONE OF THE FIRST REPRESENTATIONS OF A EUROPEAN GENTLEMAN IN CHINESE PORCELAIN. -TOSHIO SHIBATA, CONSTRUCTED LANDSCAPES (APRIL 20, 2013 THROUGH SUMMER 2014): THIS SHOW PRESENTED ONE OF JAPAN'S PREEMINENT LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHERS, TOSHIO SHIBATA, WHO IS KNOWN FOR EXPLORING THE DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN HUMAN-MADE STRUCTURES AND NATURE. PHOTOGRAPHING EROSION CONTROL BARRIERS, WATER CATCHMENTS, ROADS, DAMS AND BRIDGES, HE EXAMINES THE UNIQUE APPEARANCE OF SUCH STRUCTURES IN HIS NATIVE LAND. -BEYOND HUMAN, ARTIST-ANIMAL COLLABORATIONS (OCTOBER 19, 2013 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 7, 2014): ARTISTS HAVE BEEN DEPICTING ANIMALS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, BUT A GROWING NUMBER OF CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS ARE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH ANIMALS TO CREATE ART. IN SOME INSTANCES THE ANIMALS ARE PRESENTED AS CREATIVE "PARTNERS," IN OTHERS, THE ARTISTS TAP AN ANIMAL'S BEHAVIOR(S) TO CREATE THEIR WORK OR SERVE AS DOCUMENTARIANS OF THE CREATIVITY THEY WITNESS IN NON-HUMAN SPECIES. THIS SHOW HIGHLIGHTED OUR EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP WITH AND PERCEPTION OF ANIMALS, BOTH IN THE WILD AND AS COMPANIONS. THE WORKS ALSO EXPRESSED DIVERSE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HUMANS AND ANIMALS AND RAISED IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NATURE OF CREATIVITY ITSELF AND WHAT TRULY DISTINGUISHES HUMANS FROM OTHER ANIMALS. -FUTURE BEAUTY: AVANT GARDE JAPANESE FASHION (NOVEMBER 16, 2013 THROUGH JANUARY 26, 2014): ORGANIZED BY THE KYOTO COSTUME INSTITUTE, JAPAN, FUTURE BEAUTY WAS THE FIRST EXHIBITION TO COMPREHENSIVELY SURVEY AVANT-GARDE JAPANESE FASHION, FROM THE EARLY 1980S TO THE PRESENT.
