from the secretary

very day, Smithsonian scientists,

researchers, and curators make a difference in the world around us.

Achievement is our hallmark, but even by our standards, 2005 has been a

remarkable year. 

We welcomed our first giant panda cub, Tai Shan, on July 9, born after

National Zoo scientists artificially inseminated mother Mei Xiang, successfully

culminating nearly a decade of work with giant pandas that will help to save the

species in nature. We were the grateful recipients of the magnificent Walt

Disney-Tishman Collection of African art, which, when combined with our

own holdings, gives us a collection unparalleled in the United States. And we 

celebrated two major openings: The National Museum of American History,

Behring Center’s sweeping The Price of Freedom: Americans at War, examining the

impact of military involvements throughout

American history, and the National Air and

Space Museum’s James S. McDonnell Space

Hangar at the Udvar-Hazy Center, home of

the space shuttle Enterprise. Generous donors

— whose passion for discovery and preservation matches our own — made these stellar

accomplishments possible.

This year, we received a breathtaking $45 million donation from the

Donald W. Reynolds Foundation to help restore the landmark Patent Office

Building. This extraordinary gift caps a banner fund-raising year in which

the Smithsonian raised $168.8 million, including $11 million in endowed

directorship gifts that build the stability and financial strength of the

Institution, making us better stewards of the future.

Thanks to such generous private philanthropy — and ongoing public 

support — the Smithsonian’s museums, research centers, and national 

outreach programs enrich countless Americans and citizens of the world. 

The scope of our work is so broad it can only be fully grasped in its parts, but

this much is sure — the sum of those parts equals a museum experience

unmatched anywhere.

long-running mystery when they

identified this tiny beetle as the

source of batrachotoxins 250 times

more toxic than strychnine. 

BARCODES FOR PLANTS

National Museum of

Natural History scientists

are using short DNA

sequences as barcodes to

identify species of flowering plants. In the

STUDYING THE TINIEST ANIMALS

At the Smithsonian Marine Station at

Fort Pierce in Florida, research on

meiofauna, a varied collection of the

Earth’s smallest animals, has resulted in

descriptions of several new species, as

well as novel insights into the structure,

function, and evolution of invertebrates.

IN 2005, THE SMITHSONIAN studied the Earth’s smallest animals and

helped some of the rarest ones into the world, exemplifying the many ways

we contribute to scientific knowledge, as we have since our inception. Today, 

our collections of more than 126 million natural history specimens and 

artifacts serve as a vast resource for scientists and researchers who transform

inquiry into fact.

DONALD W. REYNOLDS CENTER FOR AMERICAN ART AND PORTRAITURE 

For the last six years, the Smithsonian has been engaged in the complete renovation of a historical

and architectural treasure: the Patent Office Building. Often called the finest example of Greek

Revival architecture in the United States, the Patent Office Building was the third public building

constructed in early Washington, after the White House and the U.S. Capitol. A National Historic

Landmark, the building has long been the permanent home of the National Portrait Gallery and 

the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

A Vibrant Future

AT THE SMITHSONIAN, we constantly translate our research and

discoveries into new initiatives and programs that will enlighten and

engage visitors from around the world. Today’s work in progress will

be tomorrow’s major exhibitions and new museums. 
19

In July 2006, the museums will re-open in their

gloriously restored historic home, the Smithsonian’s

Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and

Portraiture, acknowledging the extraordinary $45 million gift of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The

transformation of the Patent Office Building has been

a remarkable public-private partnership. Federal funds

paid for the replacement of the building’s mechanical

systems and the painstaking restoration of its 19thcentury grandeur. But private funds have sponsored

many of the exhibitions and programs that will make

the complex a unique cultural center, as well as architectural enhancements, including a courtyard canopy. 

A challenge gift from the Lunder Foundation 

of Maine and contributions from dozens of other

donors have made possible the innovative Lunder

Conservation Center, a superb art conservation facility

that will allow the public to experience behind-thescenes views of museum preservation work. Visitors will

have more opportunities to go behind-the-scenes in

the adjacent Luce Foundation Center for American Art,

where thousands of artworks from the Smithsonian

American Art Museum’s permanent collection will be

on view in secure glass cases, thanks to a generous grant

from The Henry Luce Foundation. The Nan Tucker

McEvoy Auditorium, a 346-seat theater and lobby, will

serve as the site for an ambitious program of lectures,

films, music, theater, and dance performances that has

not been possible in the past. 

The activities and new exhibitions that will mark the

Reynolds Center opening will be the cultural event of

the year. The National Portrait Gallery will showcase its

growing engagement with contemporary life through

several exhibitions that present notable individuals of

the last two decades, while the American Art Museum

will feature a retrospective look at the remarkable

restoration of the center. 

When completed in late 2007, the Robert and

Arlene Kogod Courtyard will be the crowning element

of the Reynolds Center. This large courtyard at the

building’s center, covered by a canopy of undulating

glass panels, designed by renowned architect Norman

Foster, will create a spectacular new space for public

events in the nation’s capital.

DRAMATIC CHANGES FOR THE AMERICAN HISTORY MUSEUM

Which of the nation’s treasures should start visitors on their journey

through our history? The National Museum of American History,

Behring Center has long given that place of honor to the Star-Spangled

Banner, and a dramatic new home for the flag will be the centerpiece of

the museum’s renovation. 

At the museum’s center, the removal of floors and walls will create a

multi-story space bathed in natural light from an overhead skylight. 

This airy atrium will form the ceremonial and interpretive heart of the

museum, with the flag as its main feature. The celebrated icon, which has

recently undergone a seven-year, multi-million-dollar conservation

treatment, will rest within a climate-controlled, two-story enclosure in an

atmosphere reminiscent of “the dawn’s early light.” The arrangement will

delicately balance two needs: to preserve the flag and to present it to its

public. At the entrance and exit, objects, graphics, and interpretation will

give visitors a context to understand the Star-Spangled Banner’s place in

American history and the role of the flag in American life. Outreach and

education programs and a traveling exhibition will share the flag and its

meaning with millions beyond the National Mall. 

These dramatic changes are part of a multi-phase, multi-year transformation of the museum. The new sky-lighted atrium at the center of 

the museum and the Star-Spangled Banner Gallery are expected to be

completed in 2008. Beyond 2008, the museum will renovate the west and

east wings of the building and create new galleries for several signature

exhibitions, such as The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden and First Ladies:

Political Role and Public Image. The Lemelson Center for the Study of

Invention and Innovation will also be expanded. When these renovations

are completed, the National Museum of American History, Behring

Center, already one of the most distinguished museums in the world, will

also be among the most architecturally striking. 

NEW EXHIBITIONS TO ENERGIZE THE

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM

Four new exhibitions will continue the

transformation of the National

Museum of Natural History. Every one

of them will hold to the standards of 

the magnificently renovated Kenneth 

E. Behring Family Hall of Mammals,

which opened in 2003. 

A live-butterfly house, due to open

in 2007, will present entertaining and

educational messages on evolution 

and ecology.

Ocean Hall, created in cooperation with the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration, will be

the museum’s largest exhibition at

23,000 square feet when it opens in

2008. An immersion theater that 

re-creates the experience of the deep

ocean will tell the story of our oceans

and their inhabitants. Ocean Hall will

also become the centerpiece of the

recently launched Ocean Science

Initiative, a far-reaching education

and scientific effort to enhance our

understanding of the Earth’s oceans.

The Initiative’s Ocean Web site will

offer virtual access to many of the

museum’s 33 million marine specimens, as well as digital learning.

21

The world’s most comprehensive

exhibition on the story of human

origins, What Does It Mean To Be Human?

will feature fossil footsteps from 3.6

million years ago and a model of a

30,000-year-old cave with Paleolithic

paintings. It will also create a front

door to a planned initiative on

human origins that will encompass

research and field opportunities for

scholars and students and help build

the next generation of human origins

scientists.

Planned to open by 2010, a renovated Paleontology Hall will exhibit

dinosaurs and other extinct land 

animals and plants within their

ancient ecosystems. It will span eras

from more than 350 million years

ago to the last ice age. 

AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY AND 

CULTURE MUSEUM TAKES SHAPE 

From slavery and civil rights to music

and art, the planned National

Museum of African American

History and Culture will tell the

African American story in all its

dimensions. The Smithsonian’s 19th

museum will also promote understanding of the central place the

African American story has had in

our nation’s history. 

The founding members of the

museum’s 19-member council are

national leaders in business, the arts,

and education. They are working

with the museum’s first director to

shape the museum’s mission and

guide development of its exhibitions

and public programs. Lonnie Bunch

returns to the Smithsonian as the

museum’s founding director after a

five-year hiatus, during which he

served as president of the Chicago

Historical Society. Funding for the

museum will come from federal

appropriations and private philanthropy, with a $1 million gift by Aflac

Incorporated marking the first major

corporate contribution.

UDVAR-HAZY CENTER CONSTRUCTION

CONTINUES

When it opened in December 2003,

the National Air and Space

Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy

Center became one of the most aweinspiring museum structures in the

world. The companion facility to the

museum’s flagship building on the

National Mall displays more than 100

aircraft and thousands of flightrelated artifacts in its huge aviation

hangar. The center’s James S.

McDonnell Space Hangar houses

more than 100 spacecraft and large

space artifacts, including missiles and

satellites, plus hundreds of smaller

items, such as spacesuits, tools, 

and engines. 

Udvar-Hazy Center plans for

Phase Two construction include a

328-by-230-foot restoration hangar

with visitor overlooks. The public will

be able to watch conservators work on

historic craft, such as the Northrop

P-61C Black Widow and the Heinkel

He219A Uhu Eagle Owl.

Phase Two will also add facilities

to help the museum preserve and

care for its extensive collections. 

For instance, a state-of-the-art 

collections storage unit will have two

climate-controlled storage and

preservation chambers for artworks

and spacesuits and other fragile textiles. The Emil Buehler Conservation

Laboratory and archival collections of

documents, photographs, and films

will also foster research.

Leadership Gifts

THE INSTITUTION is deeply grateful for the generous new gifts and

pledges of $1 million or more in 2005 from the following valued donors,

whose thoughtful and wide-ranging support has been essential to advancing

Smithsonian initiatives in all fields.

DONALD W. REYNOLDS FOUNDATION 

The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, under the leadership of its chairman, Mr. Fred W. Smith, once again stepped forward at a crucial point

with a gift of $45 million for renovations and exhibitions of the National

Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, located in

the historic Patent Office Building. In recognition of this

extraordinary gift, and its previous gift to the National

Portrait Gallery, the two museums and the special purpose

facilities for their programs — such as a visible conservation

center, a 346-seat auditorium, a visible art storage center,

and the courtyard — will collectively be known as the Donald

W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture. 

In 2001, the foundation gave $30 million to the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery for the

purchase of the famous Gilbert Stuart “Lansdowne” portrait of George Washington, a national tour

of the portrait, and the construction of a permanent home for it in the Patent Office Building.

With its most recent gift, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation has become the second-largest donor

to the Smithsonian since its founding. 

The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, headquartered in Las Vegas, is a national philanthropic

organization founded in 1954 by the late media entrepreneur for whom it is named. Mr. Reynolds

was the founder and principal owner of the Donrey Media Group, a nationwide communications

and media company. Led by Mr. Smith, the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation has become one of 

this country’s leading philanthropic organizations. 

Mr. Smith’s passion for saving the Lansdowne painting and for the preservation of American

cultural heritage was the catalyst behind the foundation’s two gifts to the Smithsonian. To acknowledge his important role, the Smithsonian and the National Portrait Gallery will name the gallery in

which the Lansdowne portrait will be displayed the Fred W. Smith Gallery. 

The Smithsonian, the National Portrait Gallery, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum 

are truly fortunate for the vision and philanthropy of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. Its gifts

ensure that our nation’s magnificent treasures will be shared and enjoyed by all Americans for 

generations to come. (PHOTO 1, DONALD W. REYNOLDS; PHOTO 2, FRED W. SMITH)

AFLAC INCORPORATED In a ceremony at the Smithsonian Castle, Aflac Incorporated became the first 

corporation to make a major gift to the planned

National Museum of African American History and

Culture. The company’s $1 million pledge marks an

important step forward for the Smithsonian’s newest

museum and will certainly be a catalyst for attracting

additional corporate support. Aflac’s leadership in

making this generous gift reflects the company’s 

commitment to philanthropy and its understanding 

of the importance of diversity. (PHOTO 3)

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY Cessna Aircraft Company

has been the sole supporter of the National Air and

Space Museum’s Explainers Program since its inception in 1995. With a new gift of $1.945 million, the

company continues its generous sponsorship of this

very popular program for another 10 years. About 30

Explainers — high-school and college students — wear

distinctive red shirts and meet the public, particularly

younger visitors, in the museum’s How Things Fly

Gallery and at its Discovery Stations. Cessna’s gift

reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to

encouraging the younger generation to understand the

principles and the wonders of flight. (PHOTO 4)

THE RYNA AND MELVIN COHEN FAMILY FOUNDATION

Ryna and Melvin Cohen’s deep interest in American

art and contemporary craft has led to the creation of

The Ryna and Melvin Cohen Family Foundation

Endowment for the Smithsonian American Art

Museum. This endowment, which was established with

a $1.2 million gift from The Ryna and Melvin Cohen

Family Foundation, provides funding for an ongoing

biennial exhibition series showcasing contemporary

craft artists and related programs. The series is important to the museum’s mission to provide a national

forum for the work of deserving artists from all

regions of the United States. The Cohens are longtime members of the James Renwick Alliance and the

Smithsonian Contributing Membership program.

THE DANIELS FUND Phase Two of the National Air and

Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center will

include construction of a restoration hangar, archives

center, and collections storage facilities. Funding

these additions to the world’s largest air and space

museum complex received a substantial boost with the

$3 million grant made by The Daniels Fund, a philanthropic foundation established by the late Bill Daniels.

Mr. Daniels was a decorated U.S. Navy fighter pilot

who served on aircraft carriers in World War II and 

in Korea, a pioneer in cable television, a successful

entrepreneur, and a dedicated philanthropist. To 

recognize this gift, the museum will honor Mr.

Daniels in the Sea-Air Operations Gallery in the

National Air and Space Museum in downtown

Washington, D.C. (PHOTO 6)

BARBARA G. FLEISCHMAN With her leadership gift,

Barbara G. Fleischman has created an endowment that

will provide funds for exhibitions and programs in the

Archives of American Art’s gallery space in the Donald

W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture.

Mrs. Fleischman’s late husband, Lawrence A. Fleischman,

was a co-founder of the Archives. She is the current

chairman, and was formerly president, of the organization’s Board of Trustees. To recognize her commitment

and great generosity to the Archives of American Art,

the Smithsonian has named the endowment and gallery

in honor of Lawrence A. Fleischman. (PHOTO 7)

THE GLENSTONE FOUNDATION, Mitchell P. Rales, Founder

The $1 million gift made by The Glenstone Foundation,

which was founded by Hirshhorn Museum and

Sculpture Garden Trustee and Vice Chairman Mitchell

P. Rales, provides the museum with funds to invest in

organizing exhibitions, building new audiences, and

expanding public outreach. Mr. Rales has been an

active board member of the museum since 1998.

Previous generous gifts by The Glenstone Foundation

have helped the museum acquire significant artworks

for the Hirshhorn’s collection and present major 

exhibitions. (PHOTO 8)

JANINE AND J. TOMILSON HILL A leadership gift of $1

million by Janine and J. Tomilson Hill has provided

the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden with a

critical base of private support for major exhibitions

and public programs, in addition to funding public

outreach and audience development initiatives. This

vital support will enable the museum to advance its

commitment to provide access to the most important

20th-century and contemporary international art 

and artists of our time. Mr. Hill has served on the

museum’s Board of Trustees since 1998 and in 2004

was elected its Chairman. In addition to this gift, the

Hills have been among the museum’s most generous

supporters. (PHOTO 9)

WILLIAM R. KENAN, JR. CHARITABLE TRUST The William

R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust made a generous $1

million grant to advance the Smithsonian American Art

Museum’s educational mission. This grant establishes

the William R. Kenan, Jr. Endowment Fund for the

museum’s traveling exhibitions program. It will help

defray costs for organizing touring exhibitions so that

they may be widely enjoyed throughout the country.

William R. Kenan, Jr. died in 1965. The trust that

bears his name supports programs in the arts, humanities, and sciences. (PHOTO 10)

THE KOREA FOUNDATION A generous gift of $1.25 million by The Korea Foundation to the National Museum

of Natural History’s Asian Cultural History Program has

established a new Korea Gallery among the museum’s

exhibitions on Asian cultures. The gallery, scheduled to

open in the spring of 2007, will celebrate Korea’s distinctive culture, history, and artistic traditions, displaying 

leadership gifts

objects representing more than a century of Smithsonian

collecting, as well as important Korean artwork and

artifacts from other collections around the world. The

gift also establishes a fund within the program that will

maintain the Korea Gallery. Based in Seoul, Korea, the

foundation has promoted, since 1991, international

understanding of Korea and has fostered global friendship with the Republic of Korea. (PHOTO 11)

THE LEMELSON FOUNDATION Since 1994, The Lemelson

Foundation and the National Museum of American

History, Behring Center have been partners in supporting the Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for

the Study of Invention and Innovation. The center,

located in the museum, examines the history of invention and encourages the next generation of inventors

through educational outreach. Its grant of $1.718 million funds operations through 2009. The Lemelson

Foundation and the Lemelson family have made gifts

and commitments of more than $40 million in support

to the Smithsonian. Because of their vision and

remarkable generosity, thousands of center visitors each

year are challenged and inspired. (PHOTO 12)

MASTERFOODS USA An innovative marketing sponsorship by Masterfoods USA will support the National Air

and Space Museum. The company will donate to the

museum proceeds from the sales of an aviation-themed,

limited-edition M&M’s chocolate candy dispenser, 

and it will support the program through advertisements

in Smithsonian, Air & Space, and My Smithsonian magazines.

Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars, Incorporated, and

members of the Mars family have long been committed

supporters of the National Air and Space Museum. The

museum and the Smithsonian are deeply grateful for

their continued philanthropy. (PHOTO 13)

MORGAN STANLEY With its gift of $1.1 million, Morgan

Stanley made possible the National Museum of

American History, Behring Center exhibition ¡Azúcar!

The Life and Music of Celia Cruz, which opened in May, and

provided support for the exhibition’s traveling version.

¡Azúcar! celebrates the life of the Queen of Salsa and

showcases her role in the history of Latino music. It

also explores the themes of American identity and the

many contributions Latinos have made to American

culture and popular music. Morgan Stanley has been an

important corporate partner of the museum, supporting this and several other exhibitions. (PHOTO 14)

ROLEX Rolex has for the second time made generous

in-kind and cash gifts to the National Air and Space

Museum. The company has donated clocks for the

museum located on the National Mall and funds for

Phase Two construction of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy

Center in Chantilly, Virginia, in a gift valued at $1

million. In 2003, the company gave Rolex clocks, 

now installed in the Udvar-Hazy Center, as well as a

significant cash gift to advance the center’s first phase 

of construction. (PHOTO 15)

GUENTHER AND SIEWCHIN YONG SOMMER With their 2005

endowment gifts of $500,000 to the National Portrait

Gallery and $1 million to the National Museum of

Natural History, Guenther and Siewchin Yong Sommer

have now made important gifts to five Smithsonian

museums and programs. Their two new named endowments provide for perpetual maintenance for a gallery

in the National Portrait Gallery and the National

Museum of Natural History’s Ocean Hall and Journey

Through Time exhibition. The National Portrait Gallery

has named the endowed gallery in their honor, and the

National Museum of Natural History will acknowledge

their support in the Journey Through Time exhibition.

(PHOTO 16)

TERRA FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN ART The Terra

Foundation for American Art’s $3.625 million grant to

the Archives of American Art will enable the Archives to

increase dramatically the accessibility worldwide of its

unparalleled collection of illustrated letters and diaries,

manuscripts, records, photographs, and works of art on

paper. The Archives will digitize, over five years, an

anticipated 1.6 million documents and make these

available on its Web site. The grant is the foundation’s

largest to date. In addition, the foundation’s grant of

$600,000 to the Smithsonian American Art Museum

will fund for five years fellowships named in honor 

of the foundation that will emphasize the study of

American art in an international context. (PHOTO 17)

MR. AND MRS. STEVEN F. UDVAR-HAZY By their generous

additional gift of $1 million, Mr. and Mrs. Steven F.

Udvar-Hazy have again demonstrated their extraordinary leadership and commitment to the Smithsonian’s

National Air and Space Museum. Their previous gifts

of $65 million made possible the new Steven F. UdvarHazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, which opened 

its doors in December 2003. Their new gift supports 

Phase Two construction of the center, which will

include a restoration hangar, archives center, and 

collections storage facilities. Mr. Udvar-Hazy is

Chairman and CEO of International Lease Finance

Corporation, the leading commercial aircraft owner/

lessor operating worldwide. The Udvar-Hazys’ combined

gifts are the largest ever made to the National Air and

Space Museum. (PHOTO 18)

THE UPTON TRUST The Upton Trust and its advisers have

been involved with the Smithsonian Institution and the

Panama-based Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute

for almost three decades. Gifts from the trust, which

exceed $20 million, have supported the development 

of facilities; endowed a postdoctoral fellowship; and

funded research programs in plant physiology, paleoecology, and other fields. This year, a new pledge of 

$6.3 million endows a chair for the director of the

Tropical Research Institute and provides unrestricted

funds for the next three years. The endowment creates

income in perpetuity and helps ensure a secure and 

stable future. (PHOTO 19)

CONTRIBUTING MEMBERSHIP

The Contributing Membership, a community of

Smithsonian donors, continued to experience

record-breaking growth in 2005. Member households grew to more than 85,000, with individuals

and families representing every state in the union,

28 countries, and five continents. Contributing

Members, 15,000 of whom have been members for

15 years or longer, generously increased their support this year to $13.4 million dollars. These funds

are an essential element that ensures the Institution’s

continued excellence in providing exceptional

museum experiences for all of its visitors and the

development of our research and educational 

outreach. The Smithsonian deeply appreciates the

loyalty and support of Contributing Members.

Contributing Members, in turn, are able to enhance

their relationship with the Smithsonian through 

special publications and behind-the-scenes access to

information and exhibitions. America’s museum

would not be the same without them.

Smithsonian National Board

THE SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL BOARD is the pan-institutional 

volunteer group that advises the Secretary and Smithsonian leadership

and serves as the Institution’s ambassadors. 

THIS YEAR, members advanced the mission of the

Smithsonian by promoting open exchange with its

many publics, including community and cultural

leaders in their regions; hosting receptions in their

home communities at which local leaders met the

Secretary and heard about the plans and vision of

the Smithsonian; and working with the corporate

community to strengthen institutional ties with it.

They helped forge important educational alliances

and awarded Education Innovation Grants to three

Smithsonian education programs. Smithsonian

National Board Alumni held their reunion and

engaged in all of the board’s initiatives, providing

valuable support. In 2005, the National Board 

continued its strong philanthropic tradition with

contributions of more than $11 million. The

Smithsonian thanks its current, honorary, and

alumni National Board members and gratefully

acknowledges their dedicated leadership and support.

BOARD OF REGENTS

The Smithsonian Institution is the

world’s largest museum and research

complex, with 19 museums and 

galleries and the National Zoo, as 

well as a number of research centers

around the world. It was created 

by an act of Congress in 1846 in

accordance with the terms of the will

of James Smithson of England, who 

in 1826 bequeathed his property 

to the United States of America “to

found at Washington, under the name

of the Smithsonian Institution, an

establishment for the increase and 

diffusion of knowledge.” After receiving the property and accepting the

trust, Congress vested responsibility

for administering the trust in the

Smithsonian Board of Regents.
