THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

2013-2014 Community Report e are pleased to share with you this report to our community. This past fiscal Wyear, The Cleveland Museum of Natural History continued its nearly century-long tradition of providing outstanding science education and conducting groundbreaking scientific research.

FROM THE Our curators made noteworthy discoveries, including 20 new species of praying mantis from Central and South America and Africa; a new horned dinosaur with wing-like EXECUTIVES headgear named Mercuriceratops gemini for the twin fossils collected in Montana and ; a rare juvenile ape cranium fossil uncovered in China; and fossil research confirming the French origins of historic millstones in Ohio. These significant new finds shed light on our past and have broad conservation implications that can inform our future.

In September 2013, we convened the world’s leading paleoanthropologists for a symposium and workshop on human evolution as we unveiled our new Human Origins Gallery, which showcases the most accurate and complete skeletal reconstruction of the iconic “Lucy,” and a strikingly lifelike sculpture of this ancient hominin species.

The Museum’s living collection of preserved habitats grew to encompass more than 6,400 acres through the diligent efforts of our Natural Areas Program—ensuring the continued protection of rare local ecosystems in more than 10 counties.

Our curriculum-based educational programs reach schoolchildren in our city neighborhoods—including every second grader in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District through the “Inspire: Reach Every Child” program—and across the world via our distance learning studios. We strive to instill a love of science and nature among all ages through our classroom experiences, dynamic exhibitions and outdoor adventures to our pristine nature preserves.

For the 37th consecutive year, our Museum has achieved a balanced operating budget. This solid foundation of fiscal responsibility positions us to move forward with exciting and bold plans for the future of this amazing institution and the reinvention of our campus on University Circle.

Over the course of the past year, our team of leading architects, engineers, green building experts and exhibit designers have worked in close creative collaboration with Museum curatorial, education, exhibits and operations staff to deliver innovative solutions that realize our transformative vision for the Museum’s future and propel us toward physical construction of captivating new Museum experiences beginning in 2015.

This report is merely a snapshot of our accomplishments and the results of our efforts to promote learning, scientific literacy, discovery and stewardship of our natural world. A very special thank you to our donors, and foundation, corporate and government part- ners for your generous support. You have ensured that the vital work of our dedicated staff has a lasting impact on the communities that we serve.

A. Chace Anderson Evalyn Gates, Ph.D. President, Board of Trustees Executive Director and CEO
