We provide hands-on, immersive opportunites for children and adults to explore and engage with the science of sound through Dr. Bobs SoundSchool and the Moogseum. Through these projects, we inspire the next generation of innovative thinkers. false false 473401 0 163254 In 2025, our hallmark education project, Dr. Bobs SoundSchool, once again served nearly 3,000 students in 125 classrooms in the Asheville area, providing an innovative 10-week curriculum that teaches the science of sound through music and technology. We delivered over 30,000 individual lessons to two school districts. We continued to develop and invest resources in creating a custom theremin-based educational tool, the ThereScope. When ready for manufacturing, this tool will enable us to serve children nationwide through our program. By the end of 2025, we had reached the final stages of developing prototypes for both hardware and software versions of the ThereScope and were beginning the process of beta testing. The preservation and expansion of the Bob Moog Foundation Archives continued as we added and restored numerous documents, correspondence, memorabilia, video, and important vintage instruments to our collection, including but not limited to a Model 351 R.A. Moog Theremin, Gary Wrights Moog Liberation, a LAB Series L9 Amp, and a R.A. Moog Segova Amp. We developed detailed cataloging and labeling procedures for all archive materials. With a grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, we continued an extensive rehousing project of our historic archival collection. The Moogseum, a 1,400-square-foot interactive public-facing museum located in downtown Asheville, NC, opened on May 23, 2019. The Moogseum comprises 12 custom- designed experiential exhibits created to inspire and engage people of all ages and knowledge levels. The Moogseum attracts over 10,000 visitors annually and is recognized locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally as one of the best museums of its kind. We have welcomed over 50,000 visitors to the Moogseum since its inception. 473401 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false true 9 0 5 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NC X Michelle Moog-Koussa 8282581262 56 Broadway Street Asheville NC 28801 Michelle Moog-Koussa Executive Director 40.00 X 112875 0 0 David Mash President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcus Ryle Vice-President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Terence Van Arkel Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Sally Sparks Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Halaby Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Henry Panion III Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Yvonne Spicer Board Member (term ended 6/6/25) 2.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Callan Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kim-Ha Ho Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sandra Jordan Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Rossum Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 David Sayed Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Wahowaik Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 112875 0 0 1 false false false 18000 255841 46153 273841 Moogseum Entry Fees 712110 75664 0 0 Dr. Bobs Sound School 541900 1699 0 0 Program Events 712110 5494 0 0 Exhibit Licensing 712110 150 0 0 Membership Dues 712110 4290 0 0 3500 0 0 90797 4668 0 4668 9860 9860 0 0 1419 18000 0 1419 0 1419 335868 71591 264277 264277 120657 58060 62597 62597 Miscellaneous Revenue 999999 521 0 0 521 521 707980 163254 0 270885 112875 92907 7992 11976 164020 164020 0 0 22181 20407 665 1109 3596 1798 1798 0 17441 0 17441 0 3680 3680 33685 22577 4652 6456 15876 9257 3248 3371 35808 8233 26514 1061 29979 16559 3094 10326 69152 62039 3511 3602 28803 25382 1624 1797 10292 10292 0 0 6325 0 6325 0 14466 11907 1024 1535 6967 5512 1394 61 Program-Archiving Expenses 15279 15279 0 0 Dues and Subscriptions 3043 2505 215 323 Event Expenses 3098 0 0 3098 Professional Development 3913 3913 0 0 3799 814 2887 98 604278 473401 82384 48493 30763 74079 120597 160536 5686 25732 22014 24712 24830 18925 589205 166114 410057 423091 44435 17417 1873 1873 663855 742765 17639 12925 14788 7116 162655 150000 195082 170041 X 460117 549415 8656 23309 468773 572724 663855 742765 103702 249 X false false false X 0 474818 274343 270843 284548 273841 1578393 0 0 474818 274343 270843 284548 273841 1578393 377835 1200558 16261 9765 4849 11164 14528 56567 0 365 6219 521 7105 1642065 2558651 0.73110 0.70390 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Miscellaneous Revenue 2023: 365. 2024: 6219. 2025: 521.
