Three exceptional artifacts in the Dyer Collection have been selected by Museum staff as candidates for conservation in 2009. Conservation of these artifacts is expected to cost several thousand dollars each. This work falls outside the Museum's operating budget and is supported entirely by private contributions.

Your support of the Museum’s conservation work helps us ensure that the most precious artifacts in the Kansas City Museum’s collection are professionally cared for by our outstanding team of curatorial specialists and conservationists. We will commission a conservator’s report on the winning artifact, then proceed with conservation work. The preserved artifact will find its way into our galleries when the Museum is fully restored.
