Annual Report 2009

Flagler Museum 2009 Annual Report

President’s Letter Dear Members, Contributors, Sponsors, and Grantors: While the economy hit its lowest point in eight decades in early 2009, it was nonetheless a good year for the Museum in many ways. With that in mind, I hope you will take special pride, as you read this Annual Report, in all that we have accomplished together in 2009.

Though tourism to Palm Beach County remained far below normal levels, the Museum’s attendance continued to grow, resulting in an 11% increase in paid attendance for the year. Likewise, participation in the Museum’s many programs from the Whitehall Lecture Series to exhibitions and concerts, reached an all-time high.

On behalf of my fellow Trustees, and the Museum staff, thank you for your support in 2009, it was essential to making the many impressive accomplishments of the past year possible. We remain committed to insuring that the Museum and its programs are engaging, of high quality, and worthy of your continued support.

Thank you for your generous support,

Executive Director’s Report

I

n the face of the economic challenges of 2009, the Flagler Museum tightened its belt and recommitted itself to not only being even more productive and efficient with its resources, but also to maintaining and upgrading its programming where possible. I hope the following report on the activities and programs of 2009 conveys a real sense of just how successful the Museum was at accomplishing both.

Winter Exhibition

Exhibitions In 2009, the Museum mounted two very different and very impressive exhibitions that helped further our understanding of the Gilded Age. One exhibition illustrated how the perspective on childhood changed during the Gilded Age, the other how an alternative perspective on design and lifestyle developed into a popular movement.

The 2009 winter exhibition, A Mother’s Pearls: Children in American Paintings opened in late January for three months featuring paintings of children by artists such as, Homer, Cassatt, Whistler, and Sargent. The exhibition was organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts and included more than 70 paintings.

Fall Exhibition

The fall exhibition A Spirit of Simplicity: American Arts and Crafts from the Two Red Roses Foundation was open from early October through the end of the year. The exhibition featured nearly 150 Arts and Crafts objects from a very rarely exhibited private collection, illustrating the full range of Arts and Crafts style, including: pottery, tiles, stained glass, furniture, and woodblock prints.

Gallery Talk

Programs and Member Events Café des Beaux-Arts, which opens for the Season the day after Thanksgiving through the day before Easter, served a record number of patrons in 2009. Its unique venue in the Flagler Kenan Pavilion, its view of Lake Worth and the West Palm Beach skyline, and the delightful array of tea sandwiches and sweets served with Whitehall’s own special blend of tea, has made the Café a popular lunch destination for Members and visitors alike.

The Museum presented a lecture during the first week of January on one of the most fascinating characters of the Gilded Age and one of America’s earliest museum directors, P. T. Barnum. In conjunction with the musical Barnum, presented by the Maltz Jupiter Theater, Philip Kunhardt, the author of perhaps the best biography of P. T. Barnum, titled P.T. Barnum: America’s Greatest Showman, discussed the amazing career of P. T. Barnum in the Museum’s Grand Ballroom and signed copies of his biography on Barnum.

In its tenth season, the Flagler Museum Music Series continued its tradition of presenting the best chamber music groups from around the world in the Museum’s West Room, which has been described as the best chamber music venue in South Florida. The Palm Beach Daily News noted, “It’s always a pleasure to attend chamber music concerts in the Flagler Museum Music Series.

This is real chamber music: a performance by a small ensemble in an actual room that is smaller and more intimate than a concert hall.” and “[The] season... at the Flagler Museum ... was notable for its technical polish, scholarly discovery and high-spirited music-making.” Each of the Series five concerts garnered praise. “... from the first notes, we knew that [the Polenc Trio] was a group of first-rate chamber musicians, who took as much delight in the joys of intimate playing as they gave ...” Palm Beach Daily News “... magic was on plentiful display at Palm Beach’s Flagler Museum ... the Poulenc Trio .... worked their contented way through some three centuries of musical literature ...” The Palm Beach Post “[The Polenc Trio] showed Tuesday night why it is that the infinite variety of chamber music never will be staled ...” Palm Beach ArtsPaper “Kudos to the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum in Palm Beach: Tuesday night’s concert by the Santa Fe Guitar Quartet (of Santa Fe, Argentina), offered an unusually rich exposure to an art form that, given the five-century span of classical music, is still in its youth. They set the Flagler Music Room to ringing with a big sound.” South Florida Classical Review “Especially impressive were the Santa Fe Guitar Quartet’s handling of dynamics, its variety of timbres and its rhythmic energy.” Palm Beach Daily News “... the [Prima Trio’s] performance was outstanding ...” Palm Beach Daily News “The depth and polish of the [Prima Trio] could be heard from the very first liquid phrase of the opening work, the Clarinet Trio (in E-flat, K. 498, known as the Kegelstatt) of Mozart.” Palm Beach ArtsPaper

“The Flagler Museum belonged to violinist YiJia Susanne Hou Thursday evening as she gave a knockout performance of a crowd-pleasing program.” Palm Beach Daily News “If ever there were a violinist whose gifts and achievements suit her perfectly for the modern age, it might well be Yi-Jia Susanne Hou.” Palm Beach ArtsPaper “[Tempesta di Mare] enchant us with the sheer loveliness of the music they make.” Palm Beach Daily News But, the quality of the 2009 Flagler Museum Music Series may be illustrated best by the fact that six pieces from the Series were selected by Performance Today for broadcast on National Public Radio.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day at Whitehall is becoming a wonderful tradition. A record number of couples took advantage of a special Flagler Museum Valentine’s Day package in 2009 that included admission to the Museum, lunch in the Café des Beaux-Arts, a Museum Store Gift Card, a rose, and keepsake photograph.

P.T. Barnum Lecture

For a quarter century the Whitehall Lecture Series has hosted lectures by experts from far and wide on a variety of subjects related to the Gilded Age. The theme of the 2009 Whitehall Lecture Series was Sports Legends of the Gilded Age. Lectures on: bicycle racer Major Taylor - the world’s fastest human being, John L. Sullivan - the world’s first gloved Heavy Weight Champion, 1908 - The Greatest Year in Baseball History, The Wonder Crew - the first American rowing crew to seize Olympic Gold and keep it for four decades, and Bobby Jones and legendary golfers of the Gilded Age, enlightened us on how important bicycles once were in the sporting world, how the brutal sport of prize fighting was transformed, how wacky baseball once was, how America took rowing gold from the British and kept it, and who the golf legends were that played during

Music Series

Easter Egg Hunt

its Golden Age. In addition, lecture attendees were given the opportunity to acquire signed first editions on these subjects.

There is always something for kids to do at the Flagler Museum. In addition to hosting more than 4,000 fourth and fifth graders who visit the Museum each year, free-of-charge, to learn about Florida History, there are programs specifically developed for children throughout the year. The Whitehall Society’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Egg Roll attracted more than 500 children and parents who enjoyed meeting the Easter Bunny, hunting for thousands of Easter Eggs, and a variety of other activities. Each exhibition program includes a Children’s Exhibit Activity that involves a hands-on creative activity as well as a specially focused tour of the exhibition with the Museum’s Education Director. For more than a quarter century the Museum has worked with the School District of Palm Beach County through the Museum’s IMPACT (Intergenerational Mentor Program for Art, Culture, and Technology) to bring classrooms into the Museum to work on their creative writing skills. Each year a special after-school activity takes place in the Flagler Kenan Pavilion in celebration of Florida

Summer Camps

History Month. And, for several summers the Museum’s Crime Investigation During the Gilded Age summer camp has informed and entertained campers about the criminal investigative techniques developed during the Gilded Age that still serve as the basis for crime investigation today.

In 2009 three new programs focused on children were introduced at the Museum.

The Museum developed a new Scouting Badge Program for both Boy and Girl Scouts.

Working in partnership with five other area cultural organizations to create the Palm Beach County History Institute, the Museum is helping to give teachers the knowledge and resources they need to integrate local heritage and history into all subject areas. And, a new Tour and Activity Guide for Kids was introduced to help children visiting with their parents enjoy their experience at Whitehall even more.

While the heart of the 2009 Season was filled with exhibitions, lectures, and concerts, an impressive variety of Museum programs were offered during the spring and summer months as well. The Annual Bluegrass in the Pavilion Concert, which raises funds for

Christmas Tree Lighting

the Southern Arts Federation, drew a record crowd who enjoyed an afternoon listening to two of the finest Bluegrass groups in the world, Dailey & Vincent and Grasstowne. Each year the Museum offers a special Mother’s Day package to families that includes lunch in the Café des Beaux-Arts. And, in 2009 more families than ever came to honor their mothers and enjoy the special ambience of Whitehall and the Flagler Kenan Pavilion.

Many Members gathered to enjoy the annual Independence Day celebration at the Flagler Kenan Pavilion with fireworks over Lake Worth. And, celebrating Grandparents Day at the Museum is becoming a family tradition.

The Museum’s Golden Anniversary year began on Founder’s Day, June 5th, 2009. It was June 5th, 1959, exactly 50 years before, that the Museum’s Articles of Incorporation were signed and the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, Inc. was established. Appropriately, more than 2,700 visitors enjoyed visiting Whitehall on its 50th Anniversary.

Programming for 2009 ended and the new Season began with the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Whitehall’s Grand Hall and Holiday Evening Tours of Whitehall.

Bluegrass Concert

New Elevator

An unprecedented number of people enjoyed a variety of activities during the day that culminated with the great great grandchildren of Henry Flagler lighting the 16-foot Christmas Tree and Holiday Evening Tours quickly sold out.

Conservation and Restoration Conservation work at the Museum is a continuous endeavor. Among the most notable projects of 2009 were the conservation of the chinoiserie bed in the Pink Room, the overmantel painting in the Silver Maple Room, an 1840 painting of three children from the Museum’s collection, the Stag and Hounds Clock at the top of the Grand Stairway, and the discovery, during the construction of the elevator, and preservation of a complete and very elaborate original exterior window blind system that had been entombed during the construction of the Hotel Addition in 1925.

Physical Plant In 2009 the Museum wrapped up its decadelong five-phase plan of restoration and

1)

revitalization of its physical plant and historic interiors. In April a 25-passenger 4,000 lb. capacity elevator opened providing, for the first time in the Museum’s history, access for visitors with disabilities to Whitehall’s second floor and Temporary Exhibition Gallery. In addition to making the second floor more accessible to visitors, the new elevator provides a means of safely transporting objects to the Temporary Exhibition Gallery, eliminating a major concern among some museums with regard to lending important objects for exhibition at the Flagler Museum.

In addition to the new elevator, the Museum added the Henry Flagler Harris Research

Library, and several new offices, needed for future growth and relocation and expansion of the Museum’s Archives.

More than a decade has passed since the Museum installed Whitehall’s state-of-the-art climate control system, which made it possible to develop an ambitious exhibition schedule and to restore Whitehall’s interiors. In order to insure the climate control system continues to maintain temperature and humidity within the narrow limits required for long-term conservation and by lenders to exhibitions, in the fall of 2009 the Museum began the process of completely rehabilitating the three chillers,

two cooling towers, templifier, 14 air-handlers, and dozens of pumps that are the heart of the climate control system.

Collections and Acquisitions The Museum was particularly fortunate in 2009 to add a number of significant objects to its collections. So many in fact, that while all are important, not all can be described in this report.

In honor of the Museum’s Golden Anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Amar gave the Museum more than 60 items from their collection: including a Louis XV Bombé Commode made in 1761 by Léonard Boudin, a portrait of Armand-Guillaume-François de Gourgue, the Marquis of Vayres and D’Aulnay, 1753 by Jean Valade, a Venetian Canal Scene with View of Santa Maria della Saute by Henry Courtney Selouos, and a portrait of Mary, Countess of Inchiquin studio of Thomas Lawrence. The exceptional gift of objects from the Amar’s collection is the largest in the Museum’s history.

Most of the major furniture original to Whitehall has been returned over the past 50 years, so it was especially exciting to receive as a gift from the Flagler System, Inc. a 19th century gilt console table in the French Régence style, made by Pottier & Stymus for Whitehall’s Grand Hall.

1) Venetian Canal Scene with View of Santa Maria della Salute, by Henry Courtney Selous. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Amar 2) Mary, Countess of Inchiquin, 1794-95, by the studio of Sir Thomas Lawrence. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Amar 3) Boudin commode, Qing Dynasty vases, and Valade pastel. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Amar

The Museum also added to its collection a bell from the S. S. Henry M. Flagler a 353-foot railcar ferry built in 1914. The Ferry was the realization of Flagler’s dream to transport railcars full of passengers from the terminus of the Florida East Coast Railway across the Straights of Florida to Cuba where the railcars could be off-loaded onto the Cuba Railway system, of which Flagler was a major stockholder.

It was entrepreneur and philanthropist Peter Cooper who best expressed the vision shared by many Titans of American Business when he said, “The purpose of business is to make money. The purpose of life is to do good.” So the Museum was especially pleased to add to its collection, with the help of Harris Private Bank, a handwritten note by Peter Cooper, which reads, “He in reality is the wisest and happyest (sic) man who finds and improves the greatest opertunities (sic) for doing good.” In addition to the handwritten note by Peter Cooper, a number of other important documents were given to the Museum in 2009, including: a collection of books belonging to

2)

Mary Lily Kenan, given by Thomas S. Kenan, III and a collection of materials once belonging to Russell T. Joy, the first resident organist at Whitehall, a gift of Michele Joy, Russell Joy’s great-granddaughter.

Leadership and Recognition The Flagler Museum seeks not only to live up to its designation as a National Historic Landmark, but also to function as the center of the Palm Beach community, by hosting, as it did in 2009 events like the Civic Association’s Annual Meeting and Mayor’s State of the Town Address, the Palm Beach County Centennial birthday cake cutting and toast, and an Update on Florida Affairs by Senator Jeff Atwater.

In addition to the continued support and coverage the Museum enjoys and appreciates from local media, in 2009 the Museum was featured in a great many publications worldwide, including: Art & Antiques magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur magazine, the

3)

Wall Street Journal, American Road magazine, the Magazine Antiques, Visit Florida Official Vacation Guide, Florida Travel & Lifestyles magazine, Vive magazine, Florida International Magazine, City & Shore magazine, National Public Radio, and America magazine - to name just a few.

Indeed, while the Museum was faced with challenges resulting from the economic downturn, through the support of its many Members, Contributors, Sponsors, and Grantors, listed on the following pages, it not only managed to maintain the quantity and quality of its many programs but to add new programs and, through the generosity of donors like Mr. and Mrs. Leon Amar, to add significantly to its collections.
