Wyoming State Museum Launches Conservation Project for State-Owned Sculptures

 

 

CHEYENNE, WY  — May 13, 2025 —   The Wyoming State Museum is pleased to announce a conservation project for the care of state-owned sculptures across Wyoming.  These sculptures are part of the Art in Public Buildings program jointly managed by the Wyoming State Museum and the Wyoming State Arts Council.

 

Pacific Coast Conservation will examine, perform maintenance, and write long-term care plans for over 25 outdoor artworks in 12 Wyoming communities.  This project is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, with additional funding from the Wyoming Arts Council.

 

The project's artwork includes the Spirit of Wyoming at the State Capitol, the Seventh Sense in Casper, Order/Disorder in Douglas, Serenity in Evanston, the Gift of the Smoking Waters in Thermopolis, and many more. 

 

Jennifer Alexander, Supervisor of Collections for the Wyoming State Museum, notes, "The State Museum is very pleased to be able to oversee the care for these unique historic artworks around the state to ensure that these sculptures will last as long as possible for public enjoyment."

 

The conservation efforts demonstrate the Wyoming State Museum and its partners' commitment to preserving the state's artistic heritage and enhancing public appreciation for the visual arts.
