Following the sale of the Museums prior facility, the Museum acquired a larger replacement property intended to expand exhibition capacity, collections preservation, educational programming, community engagement activities, and other mission-related operations. The prior fiscal year included nonrecurring gains associated with the sale of the former property. Fiscal Year 2024 reflects the Museums reinvestment of those proceeds into long-term organizational infrastructure and expanded programmatic capacity. 14 14 25 90 0 1255896 1221331 826832 889411 1411740 28190 -20583 -139989 3473885 1998943 0 0 1081602 1182362 98252 130087 543050 1371957 1689273 2551811 3001722 922074 -1002779 7027409 8752775 800105 3525009 6227304 5227766 The Museum functions as an educational and cultural institutionexercising community responsibility for the preservation of the automotive arts and sciences false false 1161082 888511 CollectionsThe Museums collection of vintage automobiles, motorcycles and accessories is on permanent display at the Museum located in Balboa Park.
