Profile Cincinnati Museum Center is a one-of-a-kind, multi-museum complex housed in Union Terminal, a historic Art Deco train station and National Historic Landmark. Museum Center’s major offerings at Union Terminal include the Cincinnati History Museum, the Cincinnati History Library & Archives, the Duke Energy Children’s Museum, the Museum of Natural History & Science and the Robert D.

The Preserve is the largest privately-owned protected natural area in Ohio at 16,000 acres. It provides critical habitat for more than 100 rare plant and animal species. The Eulett Center is Museum Center’s research and education facility at The Preserve. It has increased staff research capabilities, greatly expanded opportunities for educational programming and has enhanced The Preserve’s relationship with the Adams County community.

The award, given by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, recognizes institutions for extraordinary civic, educational, economic, environmental and social contributions to their communities. DEAR FRIENDS,
As we look back over the past year we are energized by the activity and passion for learning that simply cannot be contained within Union Terminal. Voices of wonder resonate throughout her Grand Rotunda.
Repair and restoration work has been completed on one key section of the building and we continue to evaluate the opportunities that may help us address all the needs of this National Historic Landmark. As our home for the past 20 years, we reflect on all the tradition, memories and adventure firmly attached to this iconic Cincinnati jewel.
As you will see in these pages, we’ve traveled around the world, back into the sands of time, into outer space and the eye of the storm, moving mountains and chugging forward. We’ve inspired curiosity, learning, wonder and awe. We’ve served teachers, professional researchers, community and business leaders, students, parents, toddlers and grandparents. Each day we are unlocking the great stories of our past, sparking scientific inquiry and lifelong learning, honoring tradition and making memories.
Join us next year, as our adventure continues to the Italian coast to discover the life and loss of the city of Pompeii, in our newest exhibit opening March 2, 2012, A Day in Pompeii. The Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX® Theater will also take us To The Arctic. New exhibits, new programs, new discoveries and insights await you!
On behalf of our staff and Board of Trustees, we wish you and your family happy holidays and hope you will join us in continuing to create holiday traditions and family memories here at Cincinnati Museum Center and Union Terminal.
Sincerely,

Major problems that could only be ascertained through extensive study were discovered, Mr. & Mrs. Steven C. Steinman Mr. & Mrs. Robert A.

Several components were addressed including the exterior envelope, Anonymous Foundation Mr. & Mrs. David Dillon * structural issues, building systems, valuable historic fabric and interior architecture. Mr. & Mrs. Martiné R. Dunn Mr. & Mrs. James C. Ellerhorst One of the most exciting aspects was the opportunity to restore two significant historic spaces within the building; Ms. Susan B.

All corroded or damaged structural steel elements in the Project 1 area required $1,000-$4,999 treatment or replacement.

With this work complete, Museum Center moves into the discussion of how best to proceed with the full restoration of Union Terminal. One of the most important dimensions of a project of this magnitude and complexity, is to set a standard of sustainability and responsible use of resources, leading and educating by example. In September 2010, we hosted our Sustainability Workshop for Union Terminal. More than 50 international experts participated, including Chris Luebkeman, Ph.D., director of global foresight and innovation at Arup, community leaders, design professionals, elected officials, interested stakeholders and students from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning. Students returned to the Niehoff Studio to develop plans, addressing the issues found in initial restoration. Their designs and engineering reports can be viewed at cincymuseum.org/UnionTerminal/restore. Museum Center continues to strive to find the optimal long term solution for restoration at Union Terminal.

Congratulations to Our 2011 Graduates
DeAnthony Hedges Cincinnati State Cincinnati Museum Center’s Youth Program serves approximately 150, 13 to 18 year-old students, dedicated Bridget Schmidt to exploring career and college opportunities through museum experiences. Youth Program participants interact with visitors The College of Wooster of all ages to interpret the exhibits, facilitate demonstrations and make the museum an enjoyable interactive experience. One of the main goals of the Youth Program is to encourage participants to seek admittance to an institution of higher Brittany Wyatt education. Within the program they practice résumé writing and coordinate college visits. Youth have the opportunity to Villa Nova attend special seminars and field experiences to explore careers, develop job skills, build communication skills and Gabriella Chronis increase community awareness. Reed College Since 1998, 818 students have matriculated the program; 100% of participants graduated from high school; 99% of our Megan Kecskes students have enrolled in a 4-year college and the remaining 1% have enrolled in a technical school or have joined the Christendom College military; 80% have received some form of scholarship, several with full rides and eight National Merit Scholars and three Valedictorians; they have dedicated approximately 150,000 volunteer hours to Museum Center. Aviance McBride University of Cincinnati This year Chase Bank awarded a generous $70,000 grant through the JP Morgan Chase Foundation to the Youth Program. Whitni Smith The grant supported a year’s worth of tuition-free activities that guided the participants toward high school graduation and Coe College college enrollment. Eleven youth graduated from the program in June, and all of them won scholarships to college. Thanks to Chase Bank for this investment in our Youth Program.
