CINCINNATI MUSEUM CENTER Photo: Robert Webber Cincinnati Dear Friends, Museum Center After such a landmark year, full of milestone achievements and celebrations, we are honored to announce that Cincinnati Museum Center has been awarded the 2009 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor for museums and libraries. This annual award recognizes institutions for outstanding social, educational, environmental or economic contributions to their communities. Cincinnati Museum Center will receive the National Medal at a White House ceremony held later in Washington, D.C., and a $10,000 award in recognition of our extraordinary community impact.

Cincinnati Museum Center is the incredible result of merging legacy institutions, a children’s museum and OMNIMAX Theater that breathed life back into a National Historic Landmark. U.S. presidents and young children alike have been awestruck by the grandeur and beauty of our iconic home—Cincinnati Union Terminal. Since its 1933 opening, Union Terminal has welcomed more than 150 million visitors. Now, as home to Cincinnati Museum Center, visitors BUILDING on History are encouraged to share dialogue, are inspired to become lifelong learners and are led to develop insights from the voices of our past, the world around us and question how we can impact the future. 1 Recognized recently by Forbes Traveler magazine as the 17th most visited museum in the nation, Cincinnati Museum Center is a key regional and national destination, bringing new money to our region, creating $87 million of economic impact, through relevant and thought-provoking exhibits and programming and by provid- ing a center for community dialogue and understanding. Perhaps Marie Dornbusch, a Cincinnati public school teacher wrote it best, “…I bring students from all academic levels, abilities and economic backgrounds. We all leave inspired and fueled to learn more about our world and all that’s in it.”

The National Medal is a tribute to the quality of our passionate staff, trustees, donors, members, volunteers and community partners SINCERELY, whose unwavering dedication to our mission and efforts have made Douglass W. McDonald R. Keith Harrison us a unique asset and vital community resource. On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees, thank you for your contribution to mak- President and CEO Chair, Board of Trustees ing Cincinnati Museum Center one of our nation’s best museums.

This past year, 5 specially arranged tours have been organized for donors and for the public. David Conzett, curator of the history collections, remarks “While Museum Center curators are the stewards of significant scientific specimens, historical artifacts and works of art, which we hold in public trust, the museum’s collec- tions, whether on exhibit or in storage, are meant to be shared with the people of greater Cincinnati.” He says, “These spe- cial tours of the collections and research facility give our community access to the artifacts we preserve for them and for future generations.”

Expansive collections, cutting-edge research and scientific advances, it is all happening at Museum Center, and it is all intended for the benefit of the community here in Cincinnati, and beyond.
