responsibility
& integrity
For more than 65 years, OMSI has operated without state or local revenue for our ongoing operations,
relying instead on our members, sponsorships from corporations, and the generous support of individuals and
foundations. Though OMSI has not been immune to the effects of the weakened economy, we have weathered
the storm. In this year of fiscal challenges, we have emerged a stronger, more focused organization. As always,
we are managing your investment with responsibility and integrity. We remain true to our mission of bringing
quality science learning experiences to people of all ages.
OMSI is an institution that awakens
the imagination and b r i n g s t o
reality the dreams of
our children.
We are so proud that people see OMSI as a place of enduring value. Our attendance and memberships
continue to grow despite a weak economy. We are also proud of our community partnerships, and being
a showcase for exciting innovations in sustainability and renewable energy. Our traveling programs continue
to provide a unique brand of the OMSI experience to children in rural and underserved areas, and every week
our halls are filled with school groups, families, and adults participating in dynamic programs that range from
Science Playground to hands-on science labs to OMSI After Dark.
This year we are hosting several featured exhibits, including the OMSI-built Design Zone: Behind the Scenes,
which showcases exciting, hands-on applications of algebra, and Identity: An Exhibition of You, an exhibit
about genetics and DNA. Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science will unearth the hidden stories and
artifacts of that intriguing and mysterious civilization. SAMSON, the magnificent 39-foot Tyrannosaurus rex fossil,
continues its worldwide museum debut through December.
Thank you for your confidence in what we do. Together we can build a stronger, brighter future for everyone.

Exhibit Highlights
OMSI’s new fiscal year started off with a perfect blend of pop culture meeting real life science in CSI: The Experience. Visitors to the exhibit, based on the popular CBS television series,
were invited to play the role of forensic scientist and help solve a crime using real world forensic techniques. From DNA and firearms analysis to forensic anthropology and toxicology,
CSI: The Experience presented a one-of-a-kind, immersive, and hands-on science learning opportunity.
OMSI’s fall exhibit took a close look at one of the most common human emotions, fear. Scream: The Science of Fear took an experiential and holistic view of fear, examining the
physiological, neurobiological, and sociological aspects of this misunderstood emotion.
FY10’s final exhibit, Space: A Journey to Our Future, explored the past, present, and future of space travel. The exhibit offered space exploration enthusiasts the opportunity to touch a
piece of Mars, see a real Moon rock up close, take a spin on a space bike, and tour a full-scale future lunar habitat.
PLANETARIU M H IG H LIG H TS
The Kendall Planetarium continued to be a leader in astronomy science throughout FY10. Two new dome shows were added to its lineup: Ice Worlds and Journey to the Stars. Ice Worlds
explains how the existence of ice shapes the landscape and natural systems on other planets and moons in our solar system. Journey to the Stars explores the birth, life, and death of stars,
and why they are important to us.
FY10 also proved to be a banner year for planetarium astronomy events. Former “OMSI kid” and current NASA astronaut Dr. Mike Barratt sent photos to OMSI while on the International
Space Station. The photos he took were shown as part of OMSI’s Starry Nights Live presentations. Dr. Barratt also took time out from his Space Station duties to speak to OMSI visitors
live via satellite for a special event.
Other planetarium event highlights included a viewing of the LCROSS mission’s impact on the Moon, a speaking engagement with NASA historian Andrew Chaikin, and the worldwide
Space Day celebration where visitors learned about the International Space Station, meteorites, Moon rocks, and the latest NASA/JPL programs.

Science Hall
The 66-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton known as SAMSON made its worldwide museum debut in OMSI’s Earth Science Hall in late December. SAMSON was discovered in
South Dakota in 1987 and is one of the three most complete Tyrannosaurus rex specimens in existence. Close to 60% of SAMSON’s original bones, including its nearly complete skull,
will be on exhibit through the end of 2010.
OMSI partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to bring an exciting new permanent exhibit to the Earth Science Hall called Science On a Sphere
(SOS). Science On a Sphere is a six-foot suspended globe that uses computers and video projectors to display dynamic animated images of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, global
warming trends, and hurricane paths, as well as the surfaces of the Sun, Mars, and Moon.

OMSI depends on the generous contributions of volunteers. These are people in their teens and beyond who care deeply about
OMSI’s mission and are willing to give their time and personal attention to nearly every aspect of the museum’s operations—from the labs
to the administrative offices. They are the people who greet visitors and answer questions and whose willingness to share their love of
science learning infuses everything we do. (FY10 = June 1, 2009–May 31, 2010)
THANK YOU to our dedicated, multitalented, inspiring volunteers who gave 103,815 hours of service to OMSI.

our mission
The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is a scientific, educational, and cultural resource center dedicated to improving
