If you attended the Ninety-Nines International Conference in Vermont, you may recall the moving opening performance that held the crowd spellbound - “Where Are You, Amelia?”.  This amazing original composition was written and performed by a father and daughter team, emotionally moved and inspired by the life of Amelia Earhart.  It was released to the world during a global premiere in May.

Subsequently, composers and performing artists Bo and Michelle Meiqi Yu have brought international recognition to the Ninety Nines and Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum by entrusting “Where Are You, Amelia?” to our permanent collection.  We are both humbled and honored by such thoughtfulness, creativity and generosity.

"Where Are You, Amelia?" has entered the AEBM's permanent collection as part of our focus on artifacts, objects, and art inspired by Amelia Earhart, her aviation career, and her push for everyone to follow their dreams. Also included in this collecting theme are dolls, teddy bears, children's books, and more! Millions of people worldwide are inspired by Amelia Earhart every day, and the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum exists to preserve and further Amelia Earhart's legacy. "Where Are You, Amelia?" is a prime example of the creative ways that people show that they are inspired by Amelia.
