I I Report 99-3 Abstract This report is based on recent visit counts to the Smithsonian Institution as collected by the Office of Protection Services (0%). Data are presented for both Calendar Year 1998 and Fiscal Year 1998. These data are analyzed with particular emphasis on comparison data available for the preceding ten years (1988-1997). Visit counts for select museums are isolated to identify general sources of change in 1998. To place the Smithsonian visit counts within the larger context of visits to the Metropolitan Washington, DC area, estimates to the area are also presented in this report, as provided by the Washington Convention and Visitors Association. In Calendar Year 1998,28.6 million visits were made to Smithsonian facilities. This is an increase of 4 percent from 1997 and 3.3 million visits more than the ten-year average (1988-1997). Visits to three museums, NASM, NMAH, and NMNH, accounted for 77 percent of all visits to the Smithsonian. In Fiscal Year 1998,28.9 million visits were recorded, an increase of 14 percent over Fiscal Year 1997. 1998 Visits to Smithsonian Museums Introduction This report contains an analysis of visit counts collected at the Smithsonian Institution by the Office of Protection Services (OPS). Data are presented for Calendar Year 1998 (CY98) as well as for Fiscal Year 1998 (M98 i.e., October 1997-September 1998). The Smithsonian records data for visits (entries into buildings) rather than individuals or "discrete" visitors. The more the data are aggregated, the more important is the distinction. If, for example, we look at hourly data for a specific museum, the probability is relatively high that counts of "visits" and "visitors" are the same. Unless an individual entered and exited a building several times within the hours in which visits are recorded, he or she was counted only once. When considering visits over a day or a week or across museums, the probability that an individual was counted more than once increases. When long term data for the Smithsonian as a whole are examined, comparisons are further limited by variation in the number of facilities for which data are available. The addition of new museums (e.g., the National Postal Museum in 1993), the temporary closing of some buildings (e.g., the Freer Gallery during its renovation), and the absence of data for the National Zoological Park (NZP) further limit the analysis.'" In spite of these caveats, the available data allow for an assessment of magnitude and changes across the past decade, as well as temporal changes within years2 Visits to the Smithsonian Institution In 1998, OPS provided data for 16 facilities that are open to the public. These include 14 museums, the S. Dillon Ripley Center and the Smithsonian Institution Building (Castle). As noted above, data are not provided for NZP? When comparing the 1998 visit data to the previous ten years (1988-1997), note that some facilities were not open for the entire ten-year period and others did not exist. To make accurate longitudinal comparisons, the analysis should examine visitation patterns only at facilities open throughout the ten-year period and exclude other facilities4 In this report, analyses of overall counts and museum counts are presented separately. When the overall counts are discussed, the total number of visits recorded from all facilities for 1998 and the 1988-1997 period are included. Thus, changes in overall visitation arise either from increases or decreases in visitation at facilities that have existed throughout the period, from the addition of new facilities, or from major modification to facilities. When museum specific changes are presented, the discussion is restricted to those museums for which longitudinal data are available and whose basic configuration has remained essentially unchanged. *Endnotes begin on page 11. -1- Overall Counts for 1997 and 1998. Compared to 1997,1998 saw an increase in the total number of visits made to the Smithsonian of 4 per~ent .~ In 1997,27,360,000 (27.4 million) visits were recorded at Smithsonian museums. The total number of visits recorded for 1998 was 28,574,000, or 28.6 million (see Table 1). Table 1 1988-1998 Total Smithsonian Visits Chronolorrical and Rank-Order (in Millions) Year Visits Year Visits 1988 28.1 1996 22.4 1989 24.3 1995 23.6 1990 25.0 1989 24.3 1991 25.3 1994 24.7 1992 26.6 1990 25.0 1993 25.9 1991 25.3 1994 24.7 1993 25.9 1995 23.6 1992 26.6 1996 22.4 1997 27.4 1997 27.4 1988 28.1 1998 28.6 1998 28.6 Chronological Rank-Order (Ascending) 1988-J997 Average = 25.3 The number of visits made in 1998 is the highest in the past decade. After three consecutive years (1994-1996) when visits decreased 5 percent each year, this year?s visitation continues and exceeds the dramatic increase experienced in 1997. The total annual visits for the eleven years between 1988 and 1998 are shown in Table 1, both chronologically and in rank order. Annual totals for 1988 through 1998 are also shown graphically in Figure 1. The graph vividly shows the annual fluctuation in the total counts, the large decrease between 1988 and 1989 followed by a steady 4-year growth until a longer decline, beginning in 1992, ended with the dramatic increases of 1997 and 1998. When the visit counts are viewed by fiscal year (ie., years beginning in October and ending the next September), FY98 visitation experienced a 14 percent increase over FY97 (see Figure 2). Throughout the period between FY88 and FY97, an average of 24.9 million visits were recorded each fiscal year. FY98 exceeded the 10-year average by almost 4 million visits, a margin of 16 percent. The difference between CY98 and FY98 results from the inclusion or exclusion of October-December (lst quarter of FY98) in the total. In FY98, lst quarter visitation was unusually high, as shown in Figures 3 and 5. To aid the comparison of these critical Fall months, Figure 3 depicts the 15-month period (in fiscal quarters) encompassing both the Calendar and Fiscal Years and the associated 10-year averages. - 2 - Figure 1 1988-1998 Total Visits: Smithsonian Institution Calendar Years (Millions of Visits) 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Calendar Year Figure 2 1989-1998 Total Visits: Smithsonian Institution Fiscal Years (Millions of Visits) 30.0 1 28.9 24.7 25.0 24.6 25.0 20.0 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Fiscal Year Figure 3 Ouarterlv Visits to the Smithsonian Institution (Millions of Visits) 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Oct-Dec 1998 Oct-Dec 1997 Jan-Mar 1998 Apr-June 1998 July-Aug 1998 (1st Quarter FY99) - 3 - Monthlv Visits, 1998. Figure 4 compares the 1998 SI monthly visits to the 1988-1997 average. Monthly visitation in 1998 is above the 1988-97 monthly average for most months; only in August did the number of visits fall slightly below the average. The average monthly attendance in 1998 exceeded the average attendance between 1988 and 1997 by 13 percent.

The overall increase in recorded visits to the Smithsonian in CY98 did not affect all museums equally. While most of the museums showed an increase in recorded visits between 1997 and 1998, five locations (AM, NMAI (New York), NPM, the Renwick, and the SI Building/Castle) experienced a decrease. The Anacostia Museum was closed for renovations during most of 1997, and is, therefore, not comparable (see Table A-1). (Table A-3, in the Appendix, shows the number of visits recorded at each museum between 1996 and 1998.) Between 1997 and 1998, the number of visits recorded at three museums - the Sackler Gallery, the Cooper-Hewitt, and NMAA&NPG - increased by more than 15 percent. The greatest increase was experienced at the Ripley Center (107.7 percent). When the number of visits to individual facilities did decline from 1997 levels, the decreases were not more than 10 percent, with the exception of the A&I Building where construction both within and outside of the building may have contributed to a decrease of 18.7 percent. In 1998, visits to three museums - NASM, NMAH, and NMNH - accounted for 77 percent of the total visits to all Smithsonian facilities. In the 1988-1997 period, visits to these three museums accounted for 78 percent of the total Smithsonian visits. In other words, three out of every four visits to the Smithsonian are made to one of these museums. Between 1997 and 1998 visits to NMNH increased 1.4 percent, visits to NMAH increased 4.2 percent, and visits to NASM increased 8.8 percent. In comparing CY98 with the previous decade, longitudinal or time series data are not available for all 16 facilities at which visitation was counted in 1998. In the comparison of museum-specific visitation between 1998 and the 1988-1997 period, only those facilities with uninterrupted data are shown (Figure 6). Note that in every case, the 1998 total visits to each museum approximated the average for 1988 to 1997, with only NASM greatly exceeding the average. Figure 6 1998 Total Visits ComDared to 1988-1997 Average Total Visits, Select Museums (Millions of Visits) 1998 Monthly Average = 2.38 million 1988-1997 Monthly Average Total = 2.11 million 10.0 A&I Hirshhorn NASM NMAA & NMAH NMNH Renwick NPG -5- Among the museums in Figure 6, the percentage of total SI visits made to NASM, NMAH and NMNH in 1998 is essentially the same as in the 1988-1997 period. In all cases, visit counts exclude the National Zoological Park (NZP). We have no reason to believe that visits to NZP, available only from staff estimates, follow a different pattern. Zoo staff estimate its visits to be approximately 3 million per year. The Smithsonian data become more meaningful when viewed in the larger context of visitors to the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area -- the subject discussed below. Visits to the Washington MetroDolitan Area The Washington Convention and Visitors Association (WCVA) is the primary source of information available for the regional tourist market. Estimating the size of a tourist population is an imprecise exercise at best, resulting from varying definitions of who a "tourist" is, gaps and inconsistencies in the available data for estimation purposes and inevitable changes in methodology.6 Beginning in 1990, WCVA resumed conducting annual formal surveys, after a lapse of several years, so that the more recent estimates can be considered more reliable than earlier ones. Estimated visitation to Metropolitan Washington for 1988 to 1998 is shown in Table 2. In comparing the magnitude of these numbers to Table 1, their differences should be kept in mind. For 1988- 1993 WCVA estimates are for visits made by people who live 100 miles or more outside of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. From 1994, estimates are for visits made by individuals living 50 miles or more outside the area. While a particular person may make more than one visit in a year, it is highly unlikely that more than one visit would be estimated for a given day. In comparison, the SI estimates are for total visits, irrespective of origin. For a given individual, the Smithsonian visit counts reflect both repeat visitation both within a calendar year and within a given day (i.e., visits to different museums or multiple entries to one museum). The WCVA visit counts show a 7 percent increase between 1997 and 1998. Increases and decreases in the visit estimates of the WCVA for the metropolitan area and the Smithsonian are not always in the same direction, as seen in Figure 6. Figure 6 presents the annual differences in estimated visits for the WCVA Travel Trends data and the Smithsonian visit counts for the eleven years between 1988 and 1998. For example, between 1997 and 1998 the WCVA visit count showed an increase of 1.4 million, while the Smithsonian visit count showed a increase of 1.2 million. Differences in the WCVA and Smithsonian counts are in the same direction in about half of the comparisons. Even when the general direction of these estimates is the same (i.e., when both are positive or both are negative) the size of the WCVA estimates and the Smithsonian visit counts are quite different. These differences are due to many factors, from differences in the definition of the population of visitors to differences in the ways visits are counted or e~timated.~ - 6 - Table 2 1988-1998 Total Visits to the Washington Metropolitan Area+ Chronological and Rank Order (in Millions) 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 -- -1 - -2 - -3 - -4 - -5 1 Chronolorical Rank-Order (Ascending) Year Visits Year Visits 1988 19.6 1991 18.3 1989 19.3 1990 19.0 1990 19.0 1992 19.2 1991 18.3 1989 19.3 1992 19.2 1996 19.3 1993 19.7 1988 19.6 1994* 20.0 1993 19.7 1995 20.5 1997 19.8 1996 19.3 1994 20.0 1997 19.8 1995 20.5 1998 21.2 1998 21.2 1988-1997 Average = 19.5 +Source: WCVA.

See Table 2 note. Source: Tables 1 and 2. - 7- Visits to Other Washington Venues The National Park Service (NPS) reports data for four monuments and memorials (Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington and Vietnam Veterans), Arlington House, Ford's Theater and the White House. For 1998, NPS reports that visitation has remained stable. Visits to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum remained stable at two million. The National Gallery of Art saw 6.2 million visits in 1998 (an increase of 24% over 1997). The year included its special exhibition Vermeer's Vermeers. Exhibitions and Suecial Events, 1998 Throughout 1998, Smithsonian museums opened a number of new or temporary exhibitions and sponsored an extensive program of special events. The effect of exhibitions and events on museum-specific visitor counts is unclear. In smaller museums, such events can have a measurable impact on the number of visits recorded in a given year. In larger museums, attendance has to increase dramatically before it can be attributed to any single exhibition. Our data suggests that local visitors are much more likely to visit a museum to see a particular exhibition, while out-of-town visitors are more likely to visit a museum as part of a general visit to "the Smithsonian." The same data suggest that local visitors account for about twenty percent of all visitors. Consequently, the effect of any single exhibition on overall visitation is extremely hard to gauge. It is likely that a specific exhibition attracts new visitors to the Smithsonian, who come for a specific exhibition and enter other facilities as well. It is also likely that a specific exhibition may increase the number of visits made by local residents during a specific year both to the museum with a special exhibition and to other facilities as well. Of particular note are these exhibitions and events, which coincided with increases in visitation over the previous year: The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery experienced the highest monthly visit count (35,000 visits) in 5 years (since 1992) when a group of Tibetan Monks created a sand mandala over the course of nine days in August. The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum saw its highest monthly visitation since 1990 when "The Jewels of Lalique" arrived in February (17,000 visits). March brought with it even more visits (22,000) before the exhibition moved to its Washington, DC venue. The S. Dillon Ripley Center had its highest yearly visit count since 1991, which owes much to the monthly increases seen beginning in February with the arrival of "America's Smithsonian" and ending in August with the departure of "The Jewels of Lalique" both exhibited in the International Gallery. - 8 - NASM hosted ?Star Wars: The Magic Of Myth? from October 1997 until January 1999, during which time visitation increased 15% over visits a year earlier (Oct. 1996 -January 1997). In addition, what follows is a listing of the new and temporary exhibitions opened in Smithsonian museums during 1998.

This visit count is above the average number of visits recorded in the previous 10 years. These figures exclude visits to the National Zoo. Visits to the Zoo are estimated at approximately 3 million per year. This report is based on recorded visits to Smithsonian facilities. Individual visitors can enter a museum several times in a given day, can come several times during a given year, and can be represented in the overall visit count more than once. We have data and estimates about repeat visitation on the part of local visitors, the number of multiple entries in the SI annual data, and the percentage of annual travelers to the area who visit the Smithsonian. Our analysis leads us to cautiously say that in an average year between 9.5 and 10 million different individuals visited the Smithsonian. In 1998, the Smithsonian was at the high end of the estimates. Between 1985-1993, the Washington Convention and Visitors Association (WCVA) provided data on visits to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area by individuals who live at least 50 miles or more outside the area. These have averaged 18.9 million visits. Beginning in 1994, WCVA data are based on individuals who live at least 100 miles or more outside the area. The average for the five years, i.e., 1994-1998, is 20.2 million visits. Data are not available for estimating the number of different individuals who come to the Metropolitan area in a given year. - 11 - Endnotes * We would like to acknowledge the continued assistance of Marie Tibor, Vice President Communications and Tourism, WCVA, and Linda St. Thomas, Associate Director, Media, Office of Public Affairs, Smithsonian Institution, in assembling the information for this report. Linda's comments and careful review are appreciated. Marie helps us place Smithsonian visits in the context of Washington, DC visits. The National Zoological Park (NZP) estimates its visitorship as 3,000,000 (3 million) visits. Because these data are not available by month and are not part of the OPS system, they are excluded here. The summary report provided by OPS, used in these analyses, is the "Visit Count Statistics, Multi-Year Study." In the Appendix, we have included OPS visit counts from January, 1988 through December, 1998. The data are displayed both in calendar and fiscal years. See Tables A-1 and A-2. Data for the National Museum of American Art (NMAA) and the National Portrait Gallery (NPG) are combined, since they share the same facility. Data for the Renwick Gallery, part of NMAA, are provided separately. Data for the Silver Hill Storage Facility are combined with data from NASM. Ten years of comparison data is available for the National Museum of American Art and the National Portrait Gallery, National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of American History, Arts and Industries Building, Hirshhom Museum and Sculpture Garden, National Museum of Natural History, and Renwick Gallery (see Tables A-1 and A-2). Anacostia Museum was closed from January to March 1987, in March 1989, and for most of 1997. The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and the S. Dillon Ripley Center were opened in the Fall of 1987. The Freer Gallery of Art closed for renovation in September 1988 and reopened in April 1993. The National Museum of African Art closed its Capitol Hill location in June 1986 and reopened on the Mall in September 1987. Data for the National Museum of the American Indian ( M I ) in New York includes its Audobon Terrace facility in upper Manhattan when it was open, as well as visits to the U.S. Customs House in lower Manhattan since its opening in October 1994. The Cooper-Hewitt National Museum of Design was closed for renovation from September 1995 through September 1996. The National Postal Museum opened in July 1993. For various reasons, other facilities were not open for the entire ten-year period, 1988-1997. The See K.R. DiGiacomo and Z.D. Doering, 1998.1997 Visits to Smithsonian Museums. Washington D.C., Smithsonian Institution. March, 1998 Report 98-2. For example, between 1986 and 1993, WCVA estimates were based on the National Travel Survey, a monthly telephone survey of 1,500 United States residents. The National Travel Survey defined visitors to Washington as individuals living at least 100 miles outside the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area. Beginning in 1994 WCVA estimates are based on the TraveZScope survey, an annual mail survey of 240,000 United States households. TravelScope defines visitors to Washington as individuals living at least 50 miles outside the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area. The correlations between the WCVA data and the SI data are relatively high. For the 1985-1993 period, i.e., when WCVA was reporting data from the National Travel Survey, r = 0.629; for the last five years, 1994-1998, i.e., when WCVA changed to the Travelscope data, r = 0.622. -12- Table A-1 Calendar Year Visit Counts, CY1988-CY1998 Calendar Year (CY) January February March April May June July August September October November December Total Smithsonian Institution Total 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1988-97 Avg. 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1988-97 Avg. 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1,102,000 1,047,000 1,012,000 886,000 1,138,000 1,528,000 647,000 896,000 475,000 1,144,000 1,291,000 987,000 1,000 1,000 2,000 2,000 3,000 5,000 3,000 3,000 4,000 0 2,000 3,000 36,000 23,000 27,000 15,000 17,000 21,000 8,000 13,000 6,000 10,000 18,000 1,252,000 1,017,000 1,266,000 1,059,000 1,363,000 1,092,000 930,000 1,076,000 1,024,000 1,177,000 1,403,000 1,126,000 6,000 3,000 6,000 4,000 6,000 5,000 6,000 5,000 3,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 30,000 21,000 27,000 18,000 14,000 19,000 11,000 11,000 10,000 10,000 18,000 2,241,000 2,252,000 1,986,000 1,983,000 2,162,000 1,723,000 2,075,000 2,133,000 2,009,000 2,411,000 2,651,000 2,098,000 4,000 0 4,000 3,000 4,000 2,000 2,000 4,000 2,000 0 3,000 3,000 40,000 31,000 34,000 23,000 32,000 17,000 19,000 19,000 12,000 19,000 18,000 3,629,000 2,917,000 3,184,000 2,665,000 3,237,000 3,175,000 3,108,000 3,228,000 2,987,000 3,125,000 3,613,000 3,125,000 3,000 0 4,000 3,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 4,000 2,000 0 2,000 3,000 56,000 50,000 37,000 27,000 35,000 29,000 24,000 19,000 15,000 17,000 16,000 3,132,000 2,520,000 2,879,000 2,753,000 2,745,000 2,872,000 2,817,000 2,821,000 2,863,000 3,156,000 3,437,000 2,856,000 2,813,000 2,572,000 2,696,000 2,908,000 2,647,000 2,787,000 2,766,000 2,712,000 2,792,000 2,888,000 2,894,000 2,758,000 3,837,000 3,347,000 3,184,000 3,328,000 3,386,000 3,483,000 3,470,000 3,304,000 3,025,000 3,499,000 3,412,000 3,386,000 Anacostia Museum (AM) 4,000 3,000 6,000 1,000 4,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 7,000 1,000 3,000 5,000 3,000 11,000 8,000 5,000 4,000 5,000 5,000 2,000 4,000 4,000 4,000 6,000 4,000 8,000 6,000 0 0 0 3,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 Arthur M.
