MAKING<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mag Hos , s. os iln’s um 1 Anu Rep
UNDER Construction
Dear Friends,<br />
To make a long story short…in <strong>2018</strong>, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> was all about<br />
making things happen!<br />
<strong>The</strong> year began with the Museum creating and adopting a new five-year<br />
strategic plan. As a result, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> launched Reimagining<br />
Our Future, a $15 million comprehensive campaign. Designed to<br />
address facility needs, increase community outreach and ensure financial<br />
sustainability, the campaign is enabling <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> to develop<br />
innovative new exhibits and programs to meet the needs of children<br />
and families today—and tomorrow. Thanks to extraordinary donors<br />
including the Kent Family Foundation, Emerson, the Crawford Taylor<br />
Foundation, the Berges Family Foundation, Spire and Edward Jones,<br />
we are reimagining all that our children’s museum can do and be for the<br />
community we serve.<br />
from<br />
the<br />
board<br />
At the end of <strong>2018</strong>, we made <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> history! <strong>The</strong> Museum<br />
announced the plans for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> @ MADE, our first permanent<br />
satellite location in the City of St. Louis. In partnership with the Cortex<br />
Innovation Community and MADE STL, our new facility on Delmar<br />
Boulevard will ensure that the Museum’s resources are easily accessible<br />
to all aspiring makers, artists, designers and entrepreneurs.<br />
Thank you for helping us make even more beauty, wonder, joy and magic<br />
in <strong>2018</strong>. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> is very grateful to the generous corporations,<br />
foundations and friends who made all this possible.<br />

Reimagining<br />
Our Future<br />
Comprehensive<br />
Campaign<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> opened as the St. Louis region’s first<br />
children’s museum in 1979. Now 40 years later, we are making<br />
big plans for the future and creating more magic for generations<br />
to come. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> embarked on Reimagining Our<br />
Future, a $15 million comprehensive campaign to invest in the<br />
Museum’s exhibits, building and grounds, increase community<br />
outreach, and strengthen financial sustainability.<br />
Led by co-chairs Kim and Gene Diederich, Linda and Jesse<br />
Hunter, Judy and Jerry Kent, Crystal and Steve O’Loughlin<br />
and Peggy and Pat Sly, the comprehensive campaign is the<br />
result of a long-term planning process that enlisted the input of<br />
visitors, members, partners and key community stakeholders.<br />
nature play<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> made a play for outdoor exploration in June<br />
when we opened Nature Play, a natural learning environment<br />
in the Museum’s backyard. Designed to encourage families to<br />
connect with the outdoors, kids use everything under the sun<br />
including soil, water, sticks and stones to build their own natural<br />
creations. From concocting “pies” in a mud kitchen to splashing<br />
in a shallow creek bed, Nature Play provides a much-needed<br />
breath of fresh air for today’s screen-loving kids. This outdoor<br />
play place was made possible by the Mysun Charitable<br />
Foundation and the Sugar Creek Donor Advised Fund.<br />
World Traveler Gallery<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> made a world of<br />
difference with the new World Traveler<br />
Gallery, an exhibit space designed to<br />
promote the important 21st-century<br />
skill of global awareness through<br />
exhibits designed to celebrate and build<br />
interest in different cultures around the<br />
world. <strong>The</strong> gallery opened in June with<br />
Kenya’s Kids, its inaugural exhibit that<br />
celebrates the vibrant culture of this East<br />
African republic. <strong>The</strong> exhibit illustrates<br />
everyday life for children in Kenya, a<br />
country that embraces both advanced<br />
technology and ageless traditions. In<br />
Kenya’s Kids, visitors experience a rural<br />
home as they learn about water conservation; dress as a Maasai, one of the country’s<br />
many ethnic groups; learn Swahili in a Kenyan classroom; shop in an outdoor market;<br />
drive a safari vehicle through a nature preserve; and become a keeper at an elephant<br />
orphanage. Created in partnership with St. Louis’ Kenyan community, the exhibit was<br />
generously supported by the Crawford<br />
Taylor Foundation and the Dana Brown<br />
Charitable Trust, U.S. Bank, Trustee.<br />
Opening festivities included a lively<br />
performance by F4KIDZ, a children’s<br />
African arts group.<br />
Kenya’s Kids was the focus of the<br />
Museum’s global literacy field trip<br />
program, when Kenyan storyteller<br />
Catherine Ndegwa introduced students to<br />
the country’s language, arts and culture.<br />
Many of these educational programs<br />
were provided free of charge, thanks<br />
to support from the Employees<br />
Community Fund of Boeing and the<br />
Union Pacific Foundation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>, St. Louis Children’s Museum l <strong>2018</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
In <strong>2018</strong>, we launched the following<br />
transformative projects that were<br />
completed in 2019.<br />
emerson steam center<br />
Coming soon<br />
Thanks to Emerson, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> got<br />
all STEAMed up! <strong>The</strong> global technology and<br />
engineering company headquartered in St. Louis<br />
made an exceptional $1 million contribution to<br />
sponsor the creation and operation of a new<br />
learning environment dedicated to science,<br />
technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Emerson STEAM Center occupies the<br />
entire lower level of the south wing and features<br />
the multimedia Art Studio, the Make-It<br />
Workshop makerspace, the expanded Math<br />
Path, the technology-infused Future Play<br />
exhibit and a brand-new Science Lab, made<br />
possible with additional support from Spire. This<br />
exceptional gift from Emerson also includes free<br />
educational programming for children in need.<br />
science lab<br />
Coming soon<br />
It’s the perfect place for miniature Marie Curies<br />
and emerging Albert Einsteins. <strong>The</strong> Museum’s<br />
new Science Lab, sponsored by Spire, invites<br />
kids to put on their lab coats and dig into handson<br />
experiences that build science inquiry skills.<br />
From germinating seeds to generating static<br />
electricity, the Science Lab encourages kids to<br />
use real tools and equipment as they investigate<br />
mass, matter, motion and more. Spire’s generous<br />
gift also allows under-resourced schools to make<br />
a date and participate in STEAM Family Nights,<br />
free evening events when students and families<br />
can explore the Science Lab and other STEAM<br />
environments together.<br />
the kent family wing<br />
Coming soon<br />
In 1998, Jerry Kent made our day when he joined<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>’s Board of Directors. In addition<br />
to chairing the Board twice, Jerry and his wife<br />
Judy donated major gifts to numerous capital<br />
campaigns. <strong>The</strong>ir generous contribution to our<br />
2006 campaign enabled us to create the Kent<br />
Conservatory, the light-filled entrance lobby for<br />
the expansion that doubled the size of the facility.<br />
Most recently, the Kent family contributed the<br />
lead gift to Reimagining Our Future, funding<br />
the renovation of the Museum’s backyard, the<br />
creation of a new cultural exhibit for the World<br />
Traveler Gallery, and generous general support<br />
for the comprehensive campaign. In recognition<br />
of their extraordinary gifts, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong><br />
was honored to designate the south wing of the<br />
Museum as the Kent Family Wing.<br />

Berges Family Foundation<br />
Administrative Offices<br />
Coming soon<br />
<strong>The</strong> Berges Family Foundation helped<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> ensure that we always<br />
make a great first impression. <strong>The</strong> foundation’s<br />
remarkable support allowed the Museum to<br />
create a new office center featuring a prominent<br />
and easily accessible administrative<br />
entrance, an inviting reception<br />
area, a light-filled conference<br />
room and office hubs for<br />
professional staff. Designed to improve<br />
operations, enhance security, and provide a<br />
21st-century work environment, the Berges<br />
Family Foundation Administrative Offices are<br />
enabling <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> to better welcome,<br />
collaborate with and serve Museum visitors,<br />
community partners and staff.<br />
St. Louis City dwellers will have it made<br />
with a new <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> venue closer to<br />
home. In celebration of our 40 th birthday<br />
in 2019, the Museum will open our first<br />
permanent satellite location in the City<br />
of St. Louis: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> @<br />
MADE. Created in partnership with<br />
the Cortex Innovation Community<br />
and MADE STL and housed on the<br />
second floor of MADE STL’s makerspace<br />
on Delmar Boulevard, this new site will<br />
feature a Makers’ Workshop, an Artists’<br />
Studio, a Designers’ Lab, and an Entrepreneurs’<br />
Marketplace. Also, a large classroom will provide<br />
space for field trips, after-school workshops and<br />
summer camps. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> @ MADE<br />
is made possible with the generous support of<br />
Ameren, the Dana Brown Charitable Trust,<br />
U.S. Bank, Trustee and the William T. Kemper<br />
Foundation.<br />

Exhibits<br />
forts and clubhouses<br />
featuring tapeScape<br />
In May, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> got into a very sticky<br />
situation—on purpose! <strong>The</strong> Museum added a<br />
new adhesive element to Forts and Clubhouses,<br />
an exhibit that invited kids to jump into some<br />
good old-fashioned play as they built shelters<br />
with tables, chairs, pillows, blankets and more.<br />
Artist Eric Lennartson took fort building to a<br />
whole new level with the addition of TapeScape,<br />
a playscape tailor-made on site from miles of<br />
packing tape stretched over a steel frame. <strong>The</strong><br />
experience definitely stuck with visitors as they<br />
crawled through the twisty tunnels and slid<br />
down the curved walls of this unique installation,<br />
sponsored by Payne Family Homes.<br />
Kings, Queens & Castles<br />
in Jennings<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> made another winning move<br />
when we brought our traveling chess exhibit,<br />
Kings, Queens & Castles, to a summer satellite<br />
location in Jennings. Through a partnership<br />
between the Museum, the Jennings School<br />
District and the World Chess Hall of Fame,<br />
we rolled out the red carpet at Gary Gore<br />
Elementary School, where families could enjoy<br />
the exhibit free of charge all summer long.<br />
Marking the second summer that the Museum<br />
hosted a satellite location in North St. Louis<br />
County, this free exhibit was made possible by<br />
Jody Tromblee Young.<br />
forever forest<br />
Visitors had it made in the shade, thanks to a<br />
nationally traveling exhibit that opened in the fall<br />
and illustrates how people use forests to live,<br />
work and play. Forever Forest, an exhibit created<br />
by the Omaha Children’s Museum, invited kids<br />
to branch out and learn how trees are grown,<br />
harvested, used and enjoyed. From building a<br />
home to investigating a treetop climber, exhibit<br />
explorers actually could see the forest for the<br />
trees! Forever Forest was sponsored locally by<br />
Wells Fargo Advisors, with a national presenting<br />
sponsorship by Union Pacific and a supporting<br />
sponsorship by NAWLA.<br />

Programs and Events<br />
classrooms, as well as STEAM Family Nights at<br />

teachers were provided with free transportation,<br />

to take home.<br />

steam education<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> made the grade with education<br />
programs designed to promote learning in<br />
STEAM. Thanks to a grant from Boeing, the<br />
Museum implemented a district-wide STEAM<br />
initiative in the North St. Louis County school<br />
district of Ritenour. This free program for all<br />
elementary students featured a field trip to the<br />
Museum, where children participated in design<br />
challenges. Students developed, prototyped<br />
and revised their inventions created to solve a<br />
specific problem, from building a sound-making<br />
machine to fabricating a device that can propel<br />
a ball into a cup one foot away. In addition to<br />
the field trips, Boeing went above and beyond<br />
to also support outreach programs in Ritenour<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>, St. Louis Children’s Museum l <strong>2018</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Museum went full STEAM ahead to share<br />
our resources with other children, families<br />
and schools in need. For those unable to visit<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> came to<br />
them! We loaded up our “<strong>Magic</strong> on the Move”<br />
vans to bring STEAM-related educational<br />
outreach programs to under-resourced areas<br />
of the community. Through a collaboration<br />
with Carrollton Bank, Beyond Housing and<br />
United4Children, Museum educators offered free<br />
programming for young children, their parents<br />
and teachers in the Normandy area. And with<br />
generous grants from Ameren and the Express<br />
Scripts Foundation, we brought no-cost handson<br />
learning to disadvantaged schools throughout<br />
North St. Louis County.<br />
Nights at the Museum were equally STEAMy,<br />
thanks to the support of Mastercard, Maritz and<br />
Watlow. <strong>The</strong>se corporate partners sponsored<br />
STEAM Family Nights, evenings at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong><br />
<strong>House</strong> that feature free admission and bus<br />
transportation to the Museum, as well as an<br />
array of STEAM activities and a kit of supplies for<br />
families to extend STEAM learning at home.<br />
robotics days<br />
On certain days in winter and spring, robots<br />
made their way to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> — and we<br />
were happy about the invasion! Teams from<br />
FIRST ® Robotics throughout the St. Louis area<br />
took over the Museum for Robotics Days,<br />
events designed to showcase these amazing<br />
androids in action. Visitors got the chance to<br />
meet these young inventors and their mentors as<br />
they learned all about building better bots. This<br />
friendly robot uprising was generously sponsored<br />
by Mastercard.
naturalization ceremony<br />
In April, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> opened our doors<br />
to 30 new Americans-in-the-making for the<br />
Museum’s first-ever Naturalization Ceremony.<br />
Conducted by U.S. Magistrate Judge<br />
Patricia L. Cohen, the ceremony included<br />
immigrants to St. Louis from around the world<br />
as they took the Oath of Allegiance, the final<br />
step in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ceremony was organized in partnership with<br />
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and<br />
took place in the Legislative Chamber of the<br />
Museum’s Star-Spangled Center. Following the<br />
ceremony, the new citizens and their families had<br />
the opportunity to explore exhibits on American<br />
history and government, then register to vote<br />
with the help of the League of Women Voters of<br />
Metro St. Louis.<br />
In June, a pint-sized version of the proceedings<br />
took place when <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> hosted a<br />
Children’s Citizenship Ceremony. Even though<br />
children automatically gain U.S. citizenship<br />
when their parents are naturalized, the occasion<br />
gave us the chance to help these kids make<br />
themselves at home in their new country.<br />
great friend to kids<br />
More than 35 years ago, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> made<br />
friends with the Monsanto Fund. Now known<br />
as the Bayer Fund, the company’s philanthropic<br />
arm has had an enormous impact on the<br />
Museum. From their lead gift to our Making More<br />
<strong>Magic</strong> capital campaign in 1995 to the most<br />
recent grant for a health and nutrition outreach<br />
program in <strong>2018</strong>, the Bayer Fund has generously<br />
helped us grow a bumper crop of exhibits and<br />
programs. For their extraordinary support of <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong> and the children we reach through<br />
their gifts, we presented the Bayer Fund with the<br />
<strong>2018</strong> Great Friend to Kids Award.<br />
A grand safari<br />
Inspired by the Kenya’s Kids exhibit, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong><br />
<strong>House</strong>’s Grandparent Committee celebrated<br />
with their fundraising event, A Grand Safari.<br />
Grandparents, grandchildren and other voyagers<br />
enjoyed an expedition through the exhibit<br />
and raised more than $35,000 to benefit the<br />
Museum’s Grandparent Scholarship Program.<br />
A magical night of trivia<br />
Did you know that <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>’s Young<br />
Professionals Board holds fundraising events<br />
throughout the year to support the Museum’s<br />
mission? This is no trivial pursuit! <strong>The</strong> group<br />
raised more than $44,000 for the Access for All<br />
initiative through a trivia night in February, as well<br />
as two adults-only play dates at the Museum in<br />
the spring and fall.<br />
the magic ball:<br />
passport to the world<br />
<strong>The</strong> Museum’s Friends Committee hosted<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> Ball: Passport to the World at the<br />
Stifel <strong>The</strong>atre in October. Hundreds of partygoers<br />
packed their bags for an evening of international<br />
excitement, all to benefit <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>House</strong>’s<br />
Access for All initiative which provides free<br />
educational programming for children, families<br />
and schools in need.<br />
