Education/Interpretation: 2019 marked a major expansion in the Olana Partnership's (TOP) educational and interpretive programs with the assumption of all visitor services and interpretive program responsibilities from OPRHP effective April 1. During the period from April 1 - December 31, 2019, TOP serviced 27,928 with interpretive tour programs. In 2019, TOP's school field trip program served 1,120 students, and public programs served 3,500.
Collections and Exhibitions: The Olana Partnership's (TOP) work to conserve, research and exhibit the large and diverse collections (over 40,000 objects) at Olana State Historic Site is an ongoing, year-round program. TOP provides two full-time staff positions, the Director of Collections & Exhibitions and Curatorial Assistant, as well as one part-time, Librarian/Archivist, who are dedicated to the collections and oversee collections care on site and work closely with OPRHP's Bureau of Historic Sites on all aspects of collections care and management. In 2019, TOP organized the special exhibition "In Fredric Church's Ombra: Architecture in Conversation with Nature," which ran from May 12 - November 1. Guest Curator, Barry Bergdoll (Columbia University and the Museum of Modern Art) invited a group of today's most exploratory architects to respond to the transitional outdoor rooms at Olana that are so essential to the original 19th century design of Olana's Main House. The exhibition featured the work of Steven Holl (Steven Holl Architects), Tatiana Bilbao (Tatiana Bilbao Estudio) with artist Arantxa Solis, Stan Allen (SSA/Stan Allen Architect), Amale Andraos and Dan Wood (Workac), Jennifer Stage and Peter Coombe (Sage and Coombe Architects) with artist Chris Doyle, Mario Gooden (Huff + Gooden) with Walter Hood (Hood Design Studio).
Museum Store: The Organization operates the Museum Store at Olana State Historic Site with the goal of providing visitors with a full range of merchandise that enables them to further their learning about Olana, Frederic Church and American Art and landscape as well as continue their connection with the site through the purchase of souvenirs and decorative objects and clothing items. The Museum Store also offers food and drink for purchase through its affiliation with the Taste NY program of the New York State Department of Agriculture, which promotes products made or distributed by New York State businesses.
