Research and Conservation of Art and Artifacts | Conference Poster Presentations by Students of Missouri State University’s Museum Studies Program
July 7 – August 1 | First Friday Art Walk: August 1, 6-8pm

This exhibition of seven posters showcases research and conservation by students from the ART/MST 488: Basic Conservation of Art and Artifacts class of Fall 2024, a Citizenship and Service-Learning Integrated course taught by Dr. Billie Follensbee. In this course, the students receive training in basic preservation, cleaning, stabilization, exhibition, and storage of art and artifacts as well as limited training in repair and restoration. Each student completes a final course project, independently analyzing and researching one or more objects that were loaned to the program by different Community Partners; then they apply their course training to conserve, repair, and/or restore the objects.

Under Dr. Follensbee’s mentorship, these seven students subsequently developed their course project research further into poster presentations that they successfully presented at the Missouri Archaeological Society 2025 annual meeting and/or the Missouri Academy of Science 2025 annual meeting.
