Part 3 - Line 4a
2022-2023 WAS A YEAR OF CONTINUED GROWTH AS THE MUSEUM ENGAGES NEW AUDIENCES AND DEVELOPS INNOVATIVE WAYS TO INSPIRE HISTORICAL EMPATHY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN OUR RISING GENERATIONS. FROM THOUGHT-PROVOKING PROGRAMS WITH LEADING HISTORIANS AND SCHOLARS TO A LIVELY CELEBRATION EXPLORING THE INTERSECTIONS OF SCOTTISH HERITAGE AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, WE DELIVERED A RICH AND ENGAGING VARIETY OF MISSION-DRIVEN PROGRAMS THAT SERVED MANY AUDIENCES, BOTH ONSITE AND ONLINE. OUR PROGRAMS AND EVENTS DELVED DEEPLY INTO THE CONTINUED IMPACT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND ITS RELEVANCE TO OUR LIVES TODAY. FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED 168,279 VISITORS, INCLUDING 45,383 STUDENTS AND CHAPERONES FROM 23 U.S. STATES, WASHINGTON D.C., AND FRANCE. THE MUSEUM'S SPECIAL EXHIBITION, BLACK FOUNDERS: THE FORTEN FAMILY OF PHILADELPHIA, BROUGHT TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MAJOR MUSEUM EXHIBITION MORE THAN 100 HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS TO TELL THE INSPIRING STORY OF FREE BLACK PHILADELPHIAN JAMES FORTEN AND HIS FAMILY'S TIRELESS PURSUIT OF LIBERTY AND EQUALITY. THIS YEAR, THE MUSEUM LAUNCHED A NEW INTERACTIVE, MULTIMEDIA TIMELINE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. USING NEARLY 100 HISTORICAL OBJECTS, WORKS OF ART, TEXTILES, AND DOCUMENTS FROM THE MUSEUM'S RICH COLLECTION, THE ONLINE TIMELINE EXPLORES BOTH KEY MOMENTS AND SURPRISING STORIES FROM THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION THROUGH A VISUALLY RICH AND USER-FRIENDLY DIGITAL EXPERIENCE. THE MUSEUM HOSTED ITS SECOND YEAR OF ITS LIVING HISTORY YOUTH SUMMER INSTITUTE TO CULTIVATE A MORE DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE ENGAGED IN THE MUSEUM FIELD, SPECIFICALLY THE AREA OF COSTUMED LIVING HISTORY INTERPRETATION. THE MUSEUM CONTINUED TO ADD SIGNIFICANT ITEMS TO OUR COLLECTION THROUGH OBJECT DONATIONS AND DEDICATED FUNDING FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS TO ENHANCE THE MUSEUM'S MULTIFACETED STORYTELLING. THROUGH THIS WORK, THE MUSEUM DEMONSTRATES THE CONTINUING IMPACT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND ITS RELEVANCE TO OUR LIVES TODAY AND FULFILLS ITS MISSION TO UNCOVER AND SHARE STORIES ABOUT THE DIVERSE PEOPLE AND COMPLEX EVENTS THAT SPARKED AMERICA'S ONGOING EXPERIMENT IN LIBERTY, EQUALITY, AND SELF-GOVERNMENT.
