Wynton Marsalis performs at the Installation ceremony for 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian David J. Skorton. Now+Next

Few events in my life have been as uplifting and humbling as that of Oct. 19, 2015, the day I was honored to become the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The Installation ceremony began with a procession of the institution’s scholars, curators and scientists, representing not only the more than 6,000 staff who dedicate themselves to the Smithsonian’s mission today, but also the many thousands more who have advanced the fields of history, art and science since the institution’s founding in 1846.

In 2015 alone we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the newly renovated Renwick Gallery (p. 6), our scientists peered to the edge of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way (p. 18) and our anthropologists helped identify the remains of leaders of the Jamestown colony (p. 28).

The theme of this year’s annual report is “Now+Next” because the work we do today leads to the innovations of tomorrow. Thanks to the support of many generous private donations, Congress and the American people, we will continue to increase our understanding of the world, and to share that understanding with you.

Thank you.

Secretary David J. Skorton receives the symbolic key to the institution from Smithsonian Chancellor and Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, Jr., during the Installation ceremony at the Arts and Industries Building, Oct. 19, 2015.

Curators Rescue Endangered Artifacts

“Most conservators don’t think about their museums being bombed,” says Richard Kurin, acting provost and under secretary for museums and research. “But sometimes that’s your challenge.”

Kurin and Cultural Heritage Preservation Officer Corine Wegener spearhead the Smithsonian’s Cultural Rescue Initiative, which they are working to expand into a global center for monitoring disasters, coordinating responses and training rescue workers.

The initiative, which has support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, had its inception in assisting Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake. It has assisted in Mali, Egypt and Nepal. In 2015, Smithsonian experts helped colleagues in Syria protect Roman and Byzantine mosaics at the Ma’arra Museum with glue, cloth and sandbags, which later saved the mosaics from a barrel bomb. Now they are training Syrians to protect the Ancient Villages of Northern Syria World Heritage Site.

“The Smithsonian is uniquely positioned to activate partnerships around the world for this work,” says Wegener. “When communities are threatened by disasters, saving their cultural heritage makes them more resilient and gives them hope.”

On May 9, 2016, President Barack Obama signed into law a bill establishing the Smithsonian as a member of the Coordinating Committee on International Cultural Property Protection. The law aims to protect and preserve international cultural property threatened by armed conflict, political instability or natural disasters.

Smithsonian Takes a Stand on Climate Change

In fiscal year 2015, the Smithsonian issued its statement on climate change, affirming that “the global climate is warming as a result of increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases generated by human activities.” The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute explored the impact of El Niño on coral reefs and forests in Panama, gathering data that will improve climate prediction models. The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center monitored greenhouse gas production in Chesapeake Bay wetlands. Other Smithsonian experts increased understanding of climate change impact through studies of marine biodiversity, ocean “dead zones,” the spread of invasive species and declines in pollinators.

“No other institution brings together such a breadth of scholarship on environmental change,” observes John Kress, director, consortium for understanding and sustaining a biodiverse planet and curator of botany. The institution-wide Living in the Anthropocene initiative, which issued the climate change statement, connects Smithsonian thought-leaders in fields as diverse as art conservation and human evolution so that, institution-wide, different perspectives are brought to bear on the complex challenge of climate change.

Coming years will see major exhibitions on the National Mall incorporating climate change themes, a global network of marine observatories and satellites monitoring atmospheric change — continuing Smithsonian contributions that help society make wise choices and ensure future generations inherit a sustainable world.

African American Museum’s Historic Opening Nears

Sept. 24, 2016: After 13 years of planning and construction, the National Museum of African American History and Culture will open to visitors. Galleries are being readied. Collections, which started at zero, now brim with 34,000 objects, like the marquee sign from legendary jazz nightclub Minton’s Playhouse, and artworks by the likes of Frederick C. Flemister and Romare Bearden donated by Robert L. Johnson from his personal collection.

An astounding outpouring of private support has exceeded $270 million, with 100,000 members and donors. More than 90 Founding Donors — one-third of them first-time Smithsonian contributors — have made gifts of $1 million or more.

The 213 -year-old Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Va., epitomizes the deep commitment the museum inspires. The historic church made a Founding Donor gift of $1 million, and members of its congregation have made additional gifts, including three other Founding Donor gifts of $1 million or more.

Says church pastor the Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley, “We are proud to help build a place where all Americans can learn about the richness and diversity of the African American experience, and how it has helped shape this nation.”

Design in the Classroom Scales Up

Can a bag filled with straws, pipe cleaners and construction paper teach kids to solve real-life problems? Yes, when it’s part of a Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum classroom workshop. These everyday materials help schoolchildren learn to think like designers, build prototypes and work in teams to solve design challenges such as, “In the developing world, how might we transport clean water from its source to our home?”

Cooper Hewitt developed Design in the Classroom workshops in New York City and piloted a professional development program that has introduced design thinking to 540 teachers in New Orleans, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Washington, D.C.

This summer, the museum is launching this professional development program nationally, beginning in Los Angeles. It will also prototype an online version of the training to extend Design in the Classroom’s reach to even more educators. Donors backing the museum’s national launch include Cooper Hewitt friends across the nation and celebrities Ellen DeGeneres and Tim Gunn. Says DeGeneres: “Design education has the power to teach children to become critical thinkers and change the world.”

Opposite: Students work on their solution to a Design in the Classroom challenge. The program brings design directly into young peoples’ lives and teaches students in grades K- 12 the importance of design thinking and how it can solve everyday problems.
