Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The executive committee assumed responsibility for the audit.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The museum is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the united states internal revenue code; accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. The museum is required to file federal form 990 return of organization exempt from income tax, which is an informational return only. The museum is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, as of the date the financial statements were available to be issued, there were no audits for any tax periods in progress. Gaap requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the museum and recognize a tax liability if the museum has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by various federal and state taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the museum and has concluded that as of december 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
