“The nichols house museum preserves and interprets the 1804 federal townhouse and its collection that was home to rose standish nichols and her sisters. The museum fosters curiosity, creativity and change-making, inspired by the trailblazing work and legacy of the nichols sisters.”
“Expenditures for preservation are included as program expenses on the financial statements.”
“Collection items consist of art objects that are held for educational and curatorial purposes. Each of the items is cataloged, preserved and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously. During the year ended january 31, 2012, the organization changed its method of accounting for collection items acquired either through purchase or donation as these items are no longer capitalized. Prior to the year ended january 31, 2012, the organization capitalized its collections. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in net assets without donor restrictions if purchased with unrestricted assets and as decreases in net assets with donor restrictions if purchased with donor-restricted assets. Contributions of collection items are not recognized in the statements of activities. Proceeds from de-accessions or insurance recoveries are reflected on the statements of activities based on the absence or existence and nature of donor-imposed restrictions. Collection items are protected, kept unencumbered, cared for and preserved.”
