Explanation	LINE 32B: THE MUSEUM MAY, FROM TIME TO TIME, SELL ART WORKS ACQUIRED AS NON-CASH CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGH THIRD PARTIES SUCH AS PUBLIC AUCTION HOUSES, PRIVATE DEALERS, OR INDIVIDUALS. IN EACH CASE THE MUSEUM ENTERS INTO A CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT WITH THE THIRD PARTY CONDUCTING OR PARTICIPATING IN THE SALE AND ADHERES TO ITS OWN PUBLISHED POLICY REGARDING SUCH SALES AS WELL AS APPLICABLE IRS LAWS AND STANDARDS OF ACCOUNTING. IF STOCK IS DONATED, THE MUSEUM SELLS IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND USES THE RELATED CASH AS REQUESTED BY THE DONOR. LINE 33: IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB'S SFAS 116, THE MUSEUM DOES NOT TREAT DONATIONS SUCH AS WORKS OF ART AS REVENUE OR CAPITALIZE ITS COLLECTIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO SUPPORT ITS NON-PROFIT EDUCATIONAL MISSION, AND, SHOULD THE PROPERTY BE SOLD, PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE WOULD BE USED SOLELY TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTION. THESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ARE ALSO ENDORSED BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS AND ASSOCIATION OF ART MUSEUM DIRECTORS, OF WHICH THE MUSEUM IS A MEMBER.	Explanation

PART III	MISSION AND PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	THE MISSION OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART IS TO COLLECT, PRESERVE, STUDY, EXHIBIT, AND STIMULATE APPRECIATION FOR AND ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF WORKS OF ART THAT COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT THE BROADEST SPECTRUM OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF QUALITY, ALL IN THE SERVICE OF THE PUBLIC AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HIGHEST PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART WAS FOUNDED ON APRIL 13, 1870 BY A GROUP OF CIVIC LEADERS, ART COLLECTORS, AND PHILANTHROPISTS. THE PREMISE ON WHICH THE MUSEUM WAS FOUNDED IS "FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING IN NEW YORK 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." THE MUSEUM HAS SINCE BECOME THE PREEMINENT CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, SERVING A PUBLIC THAT EXTENDS FAR BEYOND NEW YORK CITY TO ALL THE UNITED STATES AND, INDEED, THE WORLD. IT RANKS AS NEW YORK'S PREMIER TOURIST ATTRACTION, WITH SIXTY-FOUR PERCENT OF ITS NEARLY 5.2 MILLION ANNUAL VISITORS FROM OUTSIDE THE TRI-STATE AREA. THE MUSEUM SERVES ALL AGE GROUPS, FROM PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN TO SENIOR CITIZENS, AND MAINTAINS A BROAD RANGE OF EDUCATIONAL AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS.
PART III (CONTINUED)		THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS COMPRISE MORE THAN TWO MILLION WORKS OF ART FROM ANCIENT, MEDIEVAL, AND MODERN TIMES AND FROM ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD. THEY OFFER A SURVEY OF CONSIDERABLE BREADTH OF ART FROM ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS OF ASIA, AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA, THE PACIFIC ISLANDS, EGYPT, THE NEAR EAST, AND GREECE AND ROME, TO THE PRESENT TIME. THE MUSEUM ALSO POSSESSES COLLECTIONS OF EUROPEAN PAINTINGS, MEDIEVAL ART AND ARCHITECTURE, ARMS AND ARMOR, PRINTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, DRAWINGS, COSTUMES, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, SCULPTURE, AND DECORATIVE ARTS FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE PRESENT, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST COLLECTIONS OF AMERICAN ART IN THE WORLD. THE MUSEUM MAINTAINS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ART AND ARCHITECTURE LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE COLLECTIONS ARE MAINTAINED FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH IN FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC SERVICE, RATHER THAN FOR FINANCIAL GAIN.
PART III (CONTINUED)		THE CURATORIAL PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY NUMEROUS SERVICES AND RESOURCES. THE DEPARTMENTS OF PAINTINGS, PAPER, OBJECTS AND TEXTILE CONSERVATION PREPARE AND REVIEW EVERY ARTWORK SELECTED FOR A NEW INSTALLATION, SPECIAL EXHIBITION OR LOAN. THIS CONSERVATION EFFORT RANKS WITH THE BEST OF THE WORLD'S MAJOR MUSEUMS. THE THOMAS J. WATSON LIBRARY AND THE IMAGE LIBRARY HOUSE VALUABLE RESEARCH MATERIAL AVAILABLE FOR CURATORIAL, EDUCATION, AND PUBLICATION PROJECTS.

PART III (CONTINUED)		IN ORDER TO SERVE OUR MANY AUDIENCES MORE EFFECTIVELY, THE MUSEUM CONDUCTS MONTHLY SURVEYS OF VISITORS, POLLING INDIVIDUALS AS THEY ENTER THE BUILDING TO DETERMINE GEOGRAPHIC ORIGIN, AGE, LEVEL OF EDUCATION, ETHNICITY, INCOME AND PROFESSION. NUMEROUS OTHER SURVEYS AND STUDIES ANALYZE SPECIFIC PROGRAMS. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING IS THEN PLANNED TO MEET THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF THE VARYING CONSTITUENCIES. LAST YEAR THE MUSEUM ORGANIZED SOME 21,435 EVENTS REACHING 827,022 PEOPLE. AT THE MAIN BUILDING AND THE CLOISTERS, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED 5,724 CLASSES, REPRESENTING 203,183 STUDENTS. TEACHER TRAINING, THROUGH ONSITE AND ONLINE WORKSHOPS, AS WELL AS PRINTED AND WEB-BASED TEACHER RESOURCES, ENABLE K-12 EDUCATORS TO MORE FULLY UTILIZE THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS IN THEIR CURRICULA. MOST RECENTLY, WE PUBLISHED TEACHER MATERIALS DEVOTED TO UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURES OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST. THIS PUBLICATION IS FREE ON REQUEST FOR ALL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND IS AVAILABLE IN PDF FORM FOR SCHOOLS WORLDWIDE. DURING THE YEAR 27,879 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN FAMILY PROGRAMMING AND MANY MORE WERE ABLE TO ENRICH THEIR VISITS THROUGH PRINTED FAMILY GUIDES, SUCH AS PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS AT THE MET.
