Annual Report 2006

The Museum of Science sits at a pivotal moment: Extraordinary successes of the

past year were signposts to its future as the science and technology center of the 21st
century. We will achieve this goal through four strategic initiatives, or “pillars.” We will
enhance our core exhibits and programs, illuminate the life sciences—the theme of
this report—champion engineering and technological literacy, and ultimately renew
our physical presence.

The institution’s financial strength is a result of the year’s banner achievements.

Most notably, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, developed with Lucasfilm
Ltd., our first major interactive exhibit to incorporate engineering lessons, garnered
critical acclaim. Actor Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) emceed its gala premiere, with special
guest George Lucas and catering by Wolfgang Puck. Last year, over 1.6 million visitors
experienced the Museum, while Star Wars attracted record crowds and beat attendance
projections by 23 percent.

Treasured in Boston, the Museum is also respected nationwide for its visitor
experience and accessibility. As partners joined us, we forged ahead with our strategic
initiatives. The National Center for Technological Literacy® is working with 28 states
to introduce engineering into schools and lifelong learning centers. Rhode Island
Governor Donald Carcieri calls our efforts the “beginning of a movement to breathe 1
new life” into math and science education.

Meanwhile, we made strides in life science education. A major gift from Genzyme
Corporation established the Genzyme Biotechnology Education Initiative. Through
the Barbara and Malcolm L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs, we are enriching
our nearly 30 adult-learning programs. In addition, a Hayden Foundation grant will
enable us to acquire the latest Zeiss Starmaster projector, providing a cutting-edge
planetarium experience.

As we gained momentum in fulfilling our strategic vision, we established the

Ioannis N. Miaoulis
Chairman’s Circle to recognize the Museum’s most generous benefactors, such as President and Director
charter members Sophia and Bernard M. Gordon, whose leadership and vision enrich
lives and advance the Museum of Science. The Gordons’ gift endowing the Museum’s
engineering initiatives opens a new door to inspire tomorrow’s engineering leaders.

Last year saw definitive steps towards the Museum’s transformation from a beloved
local landmark to a national leader in science and technology education—thanks
Richard M. Burnes Jr.
to the critical support of our partners and benefactors. This book is a tribute to our Chair, Board of Trustees

to its future. In response to the dramatic growth in the

bioscience world, the Museum of Science

is expanding its focus on life science and

the technology behind it. We are creating new, permanent exhibits and programs

as well as strengthening the presence of the life sciences in temporary exhibits, 3

Omni films, forums, and other formats. This life science initiative also reflects the

Museum’s championship of technological literacy across America by incorporating

cutting-edge technology into interactive exhibits and programs at the Museum and

in classrooms. By expanding our engagement with life science and technology, the

Museum honors its past as a natural history museum while connecting to the future

through technological innovation. Our goal is to create the science and technology

center of the 21st century. People will make that happen, and we are fortunate to

have knowledgeable, dedicated experts and deeply committed donors who bring

compelling and innovative exhibits and programs in life science to the Museum. We

hope you will enjoy meeting a few of them in the following pages.

 Back to Our Roots
As adults, we may marvel, but see little mystery in the reproductive process. It’s tempting, therefore, to
imagine children as the primary beneficiaries of the Museum’s exhibit How Your Life Began. Of course,

children have learned “where babies come from” at the Museum of Science for more than a generation. The
exhibit displays detailed, human-scale models of male and female internal reproductive organs, as well as
each stage of a fetus’s development inside a woman’s body. Yet the exhibit is equally valuable to adults. Instead
of getting answers, they find questions. For instance, one section raises the implications of new technologies

Investing in Tomorrow

The Museum of Science is like a digital image—an array of exhibits and programs

coalescing, like pixels, to form a whole picture. In the same way, the success of the

Museum as a whole depends on many investments, small and large, in our various

programs. Fiscal success in the past year came from multiple sources. Notable

were our achievements in attracting local and national community partners.

Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination pooled intellectual wealth and

financial support from a roster of major corporations and individual experts coast
18
to coast. Closer to home, Genzyme’s landmark grant will enable the Museum to

create fresh and challenging exhibits and programs illuminating the intersection

of life science and technology. Looking to the present and beyond, support

from engineering visionary Bernard M. Gordon and his wife Sophia ensures the

Museum’s role to inspire science and technology pioneers for generations to

come. These and other collaborations tell a story of transformation: A treasured

New England institution assumes national leadership in science and technology.

In fulfilling that transformation, we will work hard to continue engaging

community networks and partners. All partnerships with the Museum of Science

are an investment in our community and in the institution’s life as a national

science and technology leader. As more partnerships beget more successful

programming, a clearer image of the future comes into focus, like a pixilated

image gaining resolution.
