    Annual Report to the Board of Regents ñ Fiscal Year 2001 January 2002 INTRODUCTION This report presents Smithsonian Institution data and highlights for fiscal year 2001. The report also includes information from the 1st quarter of fiscal year 2002, including information on how the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and their aftermath have affected the Institution. PUBLIC IMPACT VISITS TO THE SMITHSONIAN As a result of the September 11 tragedy, visits to the Smithsonian Institution museums in Washington, D.C. and New York in October and November dropped 45 percent, compared to visits during those months in 2000. The museums were closed on September 11, but reopened on sched- ule the following day in keeping with President Bush’s call to prevent the terrorist threat from cur- tailing normal activity. The George Gustav Heye Center of the National Museum of the American Indian, located 1/4 mile away from the 1/4 mile high Trade Center, reopened on October 1. Although tourism has begun to pick up slightly in the months since the tragedy, visits remain down and are not expected to rebound to fiscal year 2001 levels for some time. Smithsonian museums and traveling exhibitions had 40 million visits in fiscal year 2001– 30.8 mil- lion visits to museums; 2.8 million visits to the National Zoo (NZP); and 6.4 million visits to travel- ing exhibitions organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES), the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), and the National Portrait Gallery (NPG).** Visits to Smithsonian Museums

    Smithsonian / 2017 Annual Report Contents 2 A Road Map to Our Future 6 Convening Conversations 18 Engaging Audiences 24 Campaign Sets Record 26 Recognition and Reports Left: Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors offered visitors a unique sensory experience— a chance to step into six kaleidoscopic rooms that created the illusion of infinite space. An Instagram favorite, the exhibition helped the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden attract more than 10,000 new members in 2017 alone. Front Cover: In artist Yayoi Kusama’s The Obliteration Room, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden invited visitors to obliterate an entirely white space with multicolored polka-dot stickers. The installation is part of the museum’s blockbuster exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors, which is touring five North American cities through 2019. A ROAD MAP TO OUR FUTURE A ROAD MAP TO he year 2017 was successful for the Smithsonian by any measure. Our curators opened insightful and inspirational exhibitions. Our scientists continued to do T groundbreaking research that benefits humankind. Our educators are reaching more people than ever before with compelling programming. The years-long, Smithsonian-wide campaign soared past its goal, setting up success for decades to come. This annual report is a terrific opportunity to look back and recognize all of these impressive achievements and many more brought to life by the Smithsonian’s dedicated and talented staff and volunteers. But while it is important to reflect on the past year, we must also redirect our eyes from the rearview mirror to the road that lies before us. This is especially true now, since 2017 saw the unveiling of our bold new strategic plan that will guide us through the year 2022.
