Form990 Schedule D Part XIV Form990ScheduleDPartXIV (3 entries)

IdentifierIdentifier	ExplanationExplanation
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 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 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 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 that would have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition.
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 INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND USED TO SUPPORT OPERATING, CAPITAL AND OTHER ACTIVITIES PURSUANT TO BUDGETARY APPROPRIATIONS BY THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.

Explanation	The use of grant funds outside the United States is monitored in accordance with the amnh sub-award administration and monitoring policy, the amnh grants manual and federal omb a-133 requirements. The museum performs an assessment of the grantee's ability to perform the work required prior to granting an award. Post-award risk based monitoring is accomplished through periodic reporting from grantees regarding the use of grant funds, field investigations and site visits conducted by AMNH staff, and regular contact with the grantee. Because foreign grantees are not subject to federal omb A-133 audit, in accordance with omb A-133 amnh utilizes additional methods of monitoring in the form of more frequent and extensive reporting and review by amnh.

Part I Line 23	The Museum received 249 contributions of scientific specimens, consisting of 99,684 items.
Part I Line 24	The Museum received 15 contributions of archeological artifacts, consisting of 246 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 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 III, Question 4 (I)	American Museum of Natural History Form 990 Year Ended June 30, 2012 Part III-Statement of Program Service Accomplishments OVERVIEW 2012 The American Museum of Natural History is a highly complex organization with broad international scope and impact, one of the world's leading natural history museums and scientific, educational and cultural institutions. The Museum operates under the auspices of the Board of Regents of the State of New York and includes the Richard Gilder Graduate School-the only museum-based Ph.D. program in the United States. It also includes the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the Hayden Planetarium with its state-of-the-art virtual reality simulator. The Museum plays a central and growing role in training the next generation of scientists, empowering science teachers, and enhancing the public understanding of science. With the benefit of over 200 research scientists, one of the largest and most important natural history collections and library, and extensive expertise in education and exhibitions, the Museum endeavors to enhance knowledge, understanding, and engagement with the natural sciences, physical sciences, and human cultures. The Museum's campus sits in the middle of the approximately 18-acre Theodore Roosevelt Park of the City of New York on Manhattan's Upper West Side. It received over 95 percent of its support in gifts, grants, contributions and membership fees from publicly supported organizations, government, and the public. It has approximately 5 million visitors onsite each year and reaches many millions more online and through global dissemination of exhibitions and educational offerings. HIGHLIGHTS 2012 During FY 2012, the Museum was deeply engaged in strategic planning that involved broad institutional participation and culminated in a special Board of Trustees retreat. And during the year the Museum achieved several important institutional milestones. Most notably, the Museum admitted the first class of its Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Earth and Space science program-the country's first museum-based Master's degree program for K-12 science teachers-which brings the Museum's resources, including its scientists, collections, laboratories and instrumentation, educational expertise, and exhibition resources to bear on the critical need to improve science teaching. In addition, this year the Museum welcomed the highest attendance in its history, surpassing the record-breaking attendance numbers of 2011 despite a forced closure due to Hurricane Irene. The Museum has seen a steady increase in attendance to approximately 5 million over the past few years as it continues to be a tangible center of inspiration from which its resources now radiate widely, including on-line to millions more. Approximately 50% of visitors were international, and the Museum remains the most popular family attraction in New York City and one of the most popular family destinations in the United States. Visits by school and camp groups continue to grow, with some 350,000 students in FY12. The Museum's Education Department enrolled over 55,000 school children in camp groups in the summer months, a 14% increase over the same period last year. The Museum's signature science education program, Urban Advantage, a consortium of eight science-based cultural institutions with the New York City Department of Education, served 156 schools, 257 teachers, and more than 27,500 middle school students in the 2011-12 school year. The Museum added millions more visitors through an active program of touring exhibitions with collaborating institutions around the world. In FY 2012 the Museum's special exhibitions, planetarium shows, Digital Universe Atlas and Science Bulletins were seen in some 89 venues in over 25 countries worldwide. Award-winning special exhibitions continued in FY 2012. Beyond Planet Earth gave visitors a view of the future of space exploration to the moon, asteroids, and Mars via immersive environments, models, and engaging interactive exhibits. Creatures of Light took visitors to the far depths of the ocean, explained why and how certain animals create "living light," and helped visitors to better understand bioluminescence and the vast ecosystem of which we are a part. The Museum further expanded the audience for these exhibitions via digital media platforms. Companion apps to Creatures of Light and Beyond Planet Earth, an app that used augmented reality, provided the public with interactive animations, photo galleries and videos related to the content of these exhibitions. The Museum video featuring the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum scientists and Imaging Technologies won a 2012 Webby Award in the Technology category, chosen by members of the International Academy of Digital Arts. The Museum's video, The Known Universe, reached 10 million views on YouTube. Viewers from Australia to India to Alaska have tuned in to watch this video, which uses the Digital Universe Atlas, a scientifically accurate four-dimensional map of the cosmos maintained by Museum astrophysicists, to show the vastness of the universe by taking an unforgettable trip from Earth to the edge of known space and back. The Museum continued to leverage its social media platforms to engage the public with science, including exhibition-based social media events, access to curators and experts via online chats and live presentations, and ongoing dissemination of Museum research. It streamed a variety of live video content on the Museum's website, amnh.org, paired with parallel Twitter feeds to encourage audience engagement with Museum programming, exhibitions, and research. Live-streamed content covered a wide range of programs, including the 2012 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium. The website was re-designed in FY 2012 to feature a modern visual design and improve navigation and access to content. To support the website, the Museum undertook the important task of selecting and implementing its first-ever enterprise-wide content management system (CMS), to organize the Museum's vast and rich content, facilitate editing and publication of content, and increase the capacity for content creation across the Museum. The CMS provides the foundation for future digital initiatives including web, mobile, tablet applications and onsite digital signage. The Museum remained steady and strong despite still-volatile financial conditions that persisted throughout the year. Competitive grant funding continued for both research and educational activities. It included receipt of $2.8 million in federal Race to the Top program funds for the Museum's new MAT program, and numerous National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grants-an important external validation of the relevance and impact of the Museum's work. The Museum's Urban Advantage program, now in its 7th year, received $2 million in support from The Council of the City of New York and $1 million from the New York Department of Education.
Part III, Question 4 (II)	SCIENCE 2012 Scientific Research and Scholarship Since its founding, the Museum has pursued a scientific research program to explore and advance understanding of the biological, physical, and cultural world. This scientific enterprise provides a foundation for the Museum's work in education and exhibition. Its scientific staff numbers over 200 scientists-including tenured and tenure-track curators-who conduct research in genomics, astrophysics, zoology, paleontology, earth and planetary sciences, and anthropology. The scientific staff publishes its work in peer-reviewed journals, with approximately 250 articles published in FY 2012. Their work is partially funded by 10 federal agencies including NSF, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health. 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 address the loss of biodiversity worldwide. In FY 2012, the Museum's scientific staff continued to sustain and enhance expeditions, discovery and collecting by conducting large-scale interdisciplinary expeditions- demonstrating why the Museum is a world premier institution for 21st century exploration. Fieldwork took place in 18 countries in addition to multiple locations within the U.S. Expeditions and field projects in FY 2012 that enriched the collections and research assets of the Museum continued in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, West Antarctica, Belize, Indonesia, Mongolia, Peru, Madagascar, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Republic of Congo, Thailand, India, the Artic of Canada, Russia, New Guinea, and Australia. In FY 2012 the Museum continued to build its research staff, adding two tenure-track curators, one in Invertebrate Zoology and one in Anthropology. In a study of unprecedented scale, an international team of 22 investigators led by Museum curators and research associates are mapping the evolutionary relationships of the major groups of mammals using both genomic and morphological features. The team also is working to reconstruct in extraordinary anatomical detail the 65 million-year-old ancestor of modern (placental) mammals. The investigators are developing a massive database consisting of more than 350,000 entries that describe and illustrate particular traits of the dentition, skull, sensory systems, brain, tissues, and other systems of different species that will allow researchers to simultaneously and interactively upload and organize descriptions, comments, literature, and images. When published, these databases and results will be openly accessible on the Web and will provide a new platform for interactive research that will move us to a new level in our capacity to analyze complex biological systems. Museum research continued to be conducted in state-of-the-art laboratories. For example, the Microscopy and Imaging Facility (MIF) continued to provide 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. More than 200 research staff, students, and visiting scientists used the facility's resources in fiscal year 2012. Three-dimensional imaging of extant reptiles, extant invertebrates, fossils from the Vertebrate and Invertebrate Zoology collections, and comet samples returned to Earth in 2006 from the Comet Wild2 Stars mission were among the MIF's major scientific projects during this fiscal year. Many of the images showcased in the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies were produced using advanced imaging technologies at the MIF. Collections The Museum maintains one of the largest and most important natural history collections in the world that together form a record of life on Earth. These collections include over 32 million specimens and cultural artifacts. Within the Museum's collections are many spectacular individual collections, from butterflies and spiders to dinosaurs and fossil mammals; from fishes and primates to crocodilians and birds. They include meteorites, gems and minerals and cultural artifacts. Preserving the Museum's collections for study by future generations with new technological capacity has never been more important. In addition, newer collection areas include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples and access to large scientific digital databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections typically increase by between 50,000 to 100,000 specimens and artifacts each year. Ichthyology collected more than 3,000 marine shore and reef fishes. The CBC sampled marine turtles and amphibians from the Solomon Islands. Earth sciences sampled molten rock from active volcanoes in Italy and the western U.S. Paleontology made important new collections of fossil mammals from the Chilean Andes and China. Invertebrate Zoology travelled to Israel and Vietnam to study and collect scorpions and myriapods (centipedes & millipedes, etc.) that added 2,700 specimens to the collections. The collections are accessible for research on site, on-line, and through loans to scientists around the world, continually adding to both the Museum's and the broader scientific community's knowledge and understanding. Over 1,100 researchers visited the collections in FY 2012. The Museum's extensive research loan program typically has loans of hundreds of thousands of specimens to other institutions. The Museum further provides online access to its collections, with an estimated 95% of the collections, other than entomology, data-based and accessible online.
Part III, Question 4 (III)	Research Library The Museum's on-site Research Library is one of the largest natural history libraries in the Western Hemisphere. It serves and supports the work of the Museum's scientific staff, natural history scholars and the public. The Library's holdings comprise a research collection, special collections, a rare book collection and digital collections. Its catalogues are part of an international online library catalogue database available at public libraries and university libraries and through the Museum's website. In FY 2012, the Library continued its ongoing efforts to digitize, catalog, and preserve its collections, and a highlight this year was completing the cataloging and processing of a large bequest of entomology and other natural history publications that included rare items such as a manuscript letter signed by Charles Darwin. The Library also contributed to the Biodiversity Heritage Library - a consortium of major natural history museums, libraries, botanical gardens, and research institutions formed to digitize and preserve the legacy literature of biodiversity, and of which the Museum is a founding member. The Library received grant support for a variety of projects produced with the Museum's Conservation Department. The Library conducted a risk assessment of its collections with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Under the Council on Library and Information Resources' Cataloging Hidden Collections program, the Library received funding to catalog previously undocumented collections. The New York State Department of Education awarded the Library its 25th annual grant for the conservation of a collection of rare illustrated ichthyologic folios. With support from the NSF, the Library unveiled the first phase of the Darwin Manuscript Project, the most comprehensive catalog of Charles Darwin's scientific manuscripts ever compiled. Developed in close collaboration with Cambridge University Library, the database includes annotations and transcriptions of over 7,400 manuscript pages and some 45,000 Darwin-related documents. Richard Gilder Graduate School The Richard Gilder Graduate School (RGGS) was founded in 2007 and is accredited by the Board of Regents of the State of New York to offer a Ph.D. program in comparative biology. To cultivate and train the next generation of scientists, the RGGS also conducts a doctoral training program each year in collaboration with four universities, Cornell, Columbia, New York University, and the City University of New York. The RGGS also maintains an active post-doctoral program and its undergraduate summer training program provides a select group of undergraduate students with intensive research experience in such subjects as evolutionary biology, earth and planetary sciences, and astrophysics. The fourth full year of academic operations for RGGS faculty, students, and staff continued to be filled with successes and highlights. To support the Museum's doctoral education programs, the RGGS was awarded U.S. Federal Training grants totaling $2.4 million. In FY 2012 RGGS saw its first student in the Comparative Biology Ph.D. Program successfully defend his doctoral dissertation and receive 3 prestigious postdoctoral fellowship awards to support his work at Harvard University. During FY 2012, students enrolled in the Ph.D. Program in comparative biology conducted fieldwork in locations such as Arizona, California, Florida, Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Madagascar, Mongolia, Vietnam, the Caribbean, and several oceans. RGGS and partner university students continue their exceptional success in NSF grant and fellowship awards, and in generating numerous scientific research publications in an array of leading journals and specialty publications. Of special note, many RGGS Comparative Biology students have won awards or recognition in the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program; of the seven eligible students, four were granted this award and two received honorable mentions. They have garnered support for thesis research, with five students being awarded highly competitive NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants in FY 2012. Rose Center for Earth and Space/Astrophysics The Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space first opened its doors to the public in 2000. The award-winning Rose Center comprises 333,500 square feet including the permanent exhibition halls, educational facilities, and the Hayden Planetarium. The Hayden Planetarium houses a powerful virtual reality simulator, which is used to develop, produce and display educational space shows for the public. The Museum offers visitors its latest Space Show, Journey to the Stars, while its prior Space Show offerings-Cosmic Collisions, Passport to the Universe, The Search for Life: Are We Alone?, and Field Trip to the Moon-continued to show in 40 planetariums around the United States and internationally. The Rose Center is supported by the Museum's astrophysics department of leading scientists that provides curatorial leadership for the exhibitions, planetarium shows, and educational programs about space. Conducting research in observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics, Museum astrophysicists study the origin and evolution of planets, stars, stellar clusters, and galaxies using ground- and space-based telescopes, supercomputers, and theoretical studies. Researchers receive funding from and collaborate with NASA and employ partnerships with land- and space-based telescopes throughout the United States and the world to further their work. The Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics The SICG comprises a number of science facilities: several microbial genomics laboratories; the Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research (a frozen tissue repository of DNA and tissue specimens); and a parallel computing facility. It also includes the Museum's Comparative Genomics Research Program. The institute supported approximately 40 graduate students and 12 postdoctoral fellows in FY 2012. The SICG's research programs are complemented by education and outreach activities and facilities, including the Sackler Educational Laboratory, that convey critical scientific concepts to diverse audiences. Launched in May 2001, the Ambrose Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research can house approximately one million frozen tissue samples representing the DNA of a wide range of species. Potentially the largest and most comprehensive initiative of its kind, this frozen tissue collection supports a broad range of research and allows scientists, today and in the future, to take full advantage of advances in genomic technology. During an era of substantial species loss, these efforts are crucial to preserving a comprehensive record of the earth's biodiversity. Its state-of-the-art storage facilities and procedures have firmly established the Monell Collection as an exemplar, both nationally and internationally, with major research institutions reaching out to the SICG to seek advice on frozen tissue storage and data documentation. Working with colleagues at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the New York Botanical Garden, and New York University, in FY 2012 SICG scientists have created the largest genome-based tree of life for seed plants. Their findings plot the evolutionary relationships of 150 different species of plants based on advanced genome-wide analysis of gene structure and function. This new approach, called "functional phylogenomics," allows scientists to reconstruct the pattern of events that led to the vast number of plant species we see today and could help identify genes used to improve seed quality for agriculture. Center for Biodiversity and Conservation The CBC uses applied science to address the loss of biodiversity worldwide, surveying and studying biological diversity, training local conservation practitioners, and providing educational programs to mitigate threats to the Earth's ecosystems. It conducts conservation-related field projects to preserve global biological diversity. The Center also conducts international training programs for scientists, organizes scientific symposia, presents public programs, and produces publications geared toward scientists, policymakers, and the general public. In FY 2012 the CBC continued its efforts to diminish critical threats to global biological and cultural diversity in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. It has projects in the Bahamas, the Solomon Islands, Peru, Madagascar, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Vietnam, Mexico, the Arctic regions of Canada and Russia, New Guinea, Lao PDR, the Galapagos Islands, and Australia.
Part III, Question 4 (IV)	In FY 2012, the CBC hosted its second successful Student Conference on Conservation Science-New York. It welcomed hundreds of graduate students, recent post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professionals from 28 countries and 25 states within the United States. The conference provided a unique opportunity for researchers at the outset of their careers to present their work before established leaders in scientific research and in science policy, and management. Southwestern Research Station The Southwestern Research Station is the Museum's year-round biological field station located in Portal, Arizona. In July 2011 the Station offered two newly developed workshops for students, science teachers, and lay persons: Ants of the Southwest and Field Herpetology of the Southwest. The Station is continuing to increase its involvement in local science conservation by expanding collaborations with federal and State agencies and NGOs. Working closely with Arizona Game and Fish and US Fish and Wildlife, one of the programs the Station initiated was an indoor, head-starting program for the threatened Chiricahua Leopard Frogs, a species not recorded in the eastern Chiricahua Mountains in over 10 years. Since the program's inception over 2,000 tadpoles that hatched from eight egg masses have been released into a pond on station grounds. EDUCATION and PUBLIC PROGRAMS 2012 Education Programs The Museum provides professional development programs for K-12 science teachers, and in FY12 3,700 teachers took advantage of workshops, lectures institutes and other opportunities with the Museum, including the on-line Seminars-on-Science program. Many of these programs offer teachers the opportunity to earn certificates of continuing professional education and credits toward advanced degrees in science education through the City University of New York and other universities. The Museum also produces a range of other educational resource materials, school programs, and curricular materials freely accessible to schools, libraries, and community organizations that foster science literacy in New York City and in other communities throughout the United States. Late in fiscal year 2012, the Museum officially launched the AMNH Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. This pilot program was selected by the New York State Department of Education as part of a specialized initiative to help ameliorate the critical shortage of qualified science teachers in New York State, particularly in the areas of Earth and space science. It is the first such program for science teachers to be offered outside a college or university. In June 2012, the first cohort of MAT students began the program, which includes intensive coursework in science content and pedagogy as well as residencies both at the Museum and in host schools. Visits by school and camp groups continue to grow, with some 350,000 students in FY 2012. The Discovery Room, a free, interactive gateway to the Museum for children and their families, achieved its tenth anniversary of hands-on science exploration. The Discovery Room offers a variety of labs and sections that represent every major field found in the Museum, from anthropology to paleontology, and provides children up to age 12 with the opportunity to engage with these fields through an array of artifacts and specimens, puzzles, scientific challenges, and guided activities. The Museum's signature science education program, Urban Advantage, is an AMNH-led consortium of eight science-based cultural institutions with the New York City Department of Education. It aims to integrate the resources of the partner institutions into the formal school curriculum to improve science teaching and learning at the middle school level. The program served 156 schools, 257 teachers, and more than 27,500 middle school students in the 2011-12 school year. Midway through fiscal year 2012, the Sackler Early Childhood Science Education Initiative laid the foundation for developing science capacities for teachers at the pre-K to second grade level by hosting a Leadership Planning workshop for education leaders from nine private and 10 public schools. This workshop included observations of early childhood science learning, using dioramas as a resource for extending and reinforcing science learning, and holding working groups to assess school needs in science and plan partnership goals. The Young Naturalist Awards, the Museum's nationwide research-based essay competition that promotes excellence in science and communication for students in grades 7-12, accepted digital entries in fiscal year 2012. One of the seventh grade winners from the 2011 Young Naturalist Awards program competition was invited to display his research project at the White House Science Fair, a specially selected group of over 100 students from 45 states. The project sought to find a more efficient way to collect solar energy by modeling the setup of solar panels on the natural design of tree limbs (using the Fibonacci Sequence). This year, the Museum developed a new middle school program, Digital Universe Flight School, which allows students to create and present a space show in the Hayden Planetarium using the software and data employed in Museum Space Shows. This course represents part of a larger initiative to develop a suite of middle school institutes that reflect the growing importance of scientific visualization. Public Programs and Symposia The Museum's public programs provide the community with access to scientists from the Museum and from research institutes and universities around the U.S. and abroad who present their current work, and discuss new discoveries and emerging issues in their fields. The Museum also convenes conferences on science and education, providing a forum for scientists, educators and public policy leaders to present ideas, proposals, and work on major issues. One program of particular note in FY12 was an event celebrating the return of NASA's last space shuttle mission. The four astronauts from the flight shared their experience of flying on the last-ever flight in the 30-year shuttle era and answered questions from children. Another was the 2012 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium. For a third successful year, the Museum hosted its popular after-hours series SciCafe featuring informal talks on current topics in science, stories from the field, and conversation. Held on the first Wednesday of each month from October through June, the series draws on the unique expertise of the Museum's staff of over 200 active scientists and their vast network of colleagues across the globe. Recent SciCafe topics include hunting for viruses, using snake venom to combat cancer, and the evolution of skin. Urban Advantage hosted its annual Science Expo, and the Museum continued to explore the intersection between art and science in different media. The Museum collaborated with the World Science Festival in the world premiere of a new immersive dome film made in partnership with Australian Media Artist Lynnette Walworth. The film, which focuses on the plight of coral reefs in a time of climate change, includes mesmerizing visual imagery that highlights the beauty of the reefs and an original score by Max Richter. Art and science also came together in an event of space-related games, which featuring the original full-dome video game Space Cruiser. This event was not only tremendously popular, but also allowed the Museum to engage with a new kind of creative community and new technologies.
Digital Media (I)	In FY 2012 the Museum continued to employ leading-edge technology and computation in its scientific research, educational offerings and exhibitions. It maintained a public website that offered online ticketing and membership, provided online professional development courses for teachers, and produced many successful online programs and offerings. This digital outreach and online vehicles provided a broad, integrated, multi-channel digital initiative offering many opportunities for people to interact with the Museum's content-nearly unparalleled in sheer volume and variety-regardless of whether they visit the Museum onsite. These efforts not only extend the reach of the Museum's mission to a much wider audience but also generate and sustain a multi-faceted dialogue between the Museum and its many audiences. In FY 2012 the website was redesigned to feature a modern visual design and improve navigation and access to content. To support the website, the Museum undertook the important task of selecting and implementing its first-ever enterprise-wide content management system (CMS), to organize the Museum's vast and rich content, facilitate editing and publication of content, and increase the capacity for content creation across the Museum. The CMS provides the foundation for future digital initiatives including web, mobile, and tablet applications as well as onsite digital signage. The Museum continued to expand its growing digital media presence by streaming a variety of live video content on the Museum's website, amnh.org, paired with parallel Twitter feeds to encourage audience engagement with Museum programming, exhibitions and research. The live-streamed content included a wide range of programs: the 2012 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, which drew over 5,600 viewers from all over the world at the top of the broadcast; and two public programs featuring astronauts from the Atlantis STS-135, NASA's final shuttle mission and from the Hubble Repair Mission. The Museum also streamed a live webcast discussion, hosted by a science journalist from the io9 blog, with Mark Norell, chair of the Division of Paleontology, and senior principal artist Mick Ellison, to discuss recent research revealing the iridescent color and detailed feather pattern of the dinosaur Microraptor, which had been published in Science magazine. The live webcast discussion drew questions from the audience via email and Twitter. EXHIBITIONS 2012 For 363 days each year the 45 permanent exhibition halls are open to the public on a pay-as-you-wish basis. The galleries provide a field guide to the history of life on Earth, the cultures of humanity, and the latest discoveries in the natural sciences. In FY 2012 the Museum continued its extensive restoration and conservation of the historic dioramas in the Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals and restoration of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall exhibitions. Throughout the year the Museum provided a robust program of award-winning temporary exhibitions created, designed and built by the Museum's staff. Race to the End of the Earth won the Gold Award - Best In Design 2012 from Graphis 100. Beyond Planet Earth won the Gold Award - Best Museum Environment Event from Design Magazine (2012) and the Bronze MUSE Award- Augmented Reality Application from the Media and Technology Committee of the American Association of Museums (2012). World's Largest Dinosaurs won the Award Graphic Design from USA Inhouse Design (2012), and Brain: the Inside Story received the Media Award from the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology. In 2012 the Museum once again engaged a broad audience through exhibitions that drew on the latest technology and design approaches to showcase the Museum's unparalleled collections and stimulate the visitors' curiosity and understanding of the world around them. The temporary exhibition Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration offers a vision of the future of space travel as it boldly predicts humanity's next steps in our solar system and beyond. Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence features extraordinary organisms that produce light, from the flickering fireflies found in the backyards across the Northeast to the alien deep-sea fishes that illuminate the perpetually dark depths of the oceans.
