Museum Students Organization
MUSE Students Welcome Picnic in August 2014
The Museum Students Organization (MSO) is a graduate student organization that serves as an interface between students and the Museum Studies Program administration, establishes and maintains a network between alumni and museum professionals, and encourages students to become active members of the museum community. MSO organizes presentations and workshops led by professionals in the museum world. Past programs held include workshops on archival box making and bookbinding, along with presentations by Judith Koke, the former Director of Education and Interpretive Programs at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. Future programs will include workshops on exhibit design technologies and grant writing, and we are working on establishing a Seminar series of key museum professionals in the area. As well as our professional programs, MSO also organizes field trips, where students can receive behind-the-scene tours to understand how different museums operate. Past field trips include the Field Museum in Chicago, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the Kansas Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson, KS, Union Station exhibits in Kansas City, MO, City Museum in St. Louis, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
