2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Science is an inquiry rooted in the joys of discovery. For nearly 200 years, the EcoTarium has encouraged lifelong learning through the exploration of the world around us – and beyond! Generations of families and community leaders have begun their own science adventures by stepping through our doors. This work is embodied in our mission “to inspire a passion for science and nature.”
2017 was a tremendous year for the EcoTarium! We created new partnerships, were visited by more than 174,000 guests, opened the award-winning exhibit, City Science: The Science You Live, and even welcomed a new baby otter into the museum’s family.
Our success is thanks to the hundreds of people who help the museum each year by volunteering, donating, and being advocates for science education in the local community. In this Annual Report, we shine a spotlight on several special people who contributed to the museum in myriad and individualized ways.
To all our friends - past and present, near and far - thank you for your support.

You started as a junior counselor and now work in the Curator’s Workshop, which area of the museum has become most important to you? My favorite part of the museum is the African Communities exhibit. Everything about that room is so serene and after I volunteer, I often go there for some quiet. There is so much to learn, all the animals are so beautiful, and overall, it is definitely a highlight for me.
Share one of your favorite parts of your volunteer experience so far. Working with children, which I have had the fortune to do in my position as a volunteer as well as a junior counselor. I honestly have learned so much from being around them, including how to be a good and patient role model. Their enthusiasm is never ending, and being around them fuels my excitement to share science. It is so nice to see a new generation of scientists, doctors, and engineers show up at the EcoTarium.
How did your passion for science develop? My passion for science developed at a very young age when my mom used to read Astronomy books with me. By kindergarten, I knew the order of the planets, and in fifth grade, I told everybody that I would be a chemist, taking inspiration from the mad scientists that I would see on children’s shows. My grandfather and I would always sit down in the evenings and watch Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made,” and “How the Universe Works.” Seeing young children at the EcoTarium reminds me of myself when I was younger.

Edward M. Augustus, Jr. City Manager 2017 SUCCESSES How do you think the museum is making a difference in the City? The EcoTarium is one of our premier cultural assets, drawing tens of thousands of visitors from both the city and beyond. It’s also one of our great educational institutions, teaching children the wonders of science and the environment. It’s an engaging museum which not only stimulates a child’s imagination but also encourages them to explore related career paths.
Any dreams or wishes for the EcoTarium in the future? My hope is that the EcoTarium continues to do what it has always done—innovate, evolve and meet the changing needs of our community while remaining a relevant and vibrant institution in our city.

Lois Meyer Long-Time Volunteer
How did you first get involved? My husband and I moved to Massachusetts in 1998 and our new neighbor was a volunteer at the EcoTarium. The neighbor suggested I volunteer as well, and I signed up; I’ve been volunteering ever since! I first started volunteering with the museum’s preschool programs, then the visitor services team, the development team, and others!
What is the most important part of the museum? Although my grandchildren enjoy the train and Nature Explore, I think there is something more important to me. I greatly admire the exhibit staff since I watched them develop and build the City Science Exhibit. It was very impressive watching the huge mural be put up after seeing the small model that was built. That is only one thing I admire about the staff, exhibit and otherwise.
