Unframed LACMA Internship
Clara Goolsby ’24 is a biochemistry and classics and archaeology double major originally from Texas. In the spring of 2023, Goolsby received a Citi Bank funded internship at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Conservation Center in the Conservation Research department. Her experience working with Dr. Caroline Sauvage in LMU’s Archaeology Center and working with Dr. Ryan Hunt in his physical chemistry lab were instrumental in her preparation for the internship duties. Her experience with understanding historical narrative through material culture and the experiences provided to her by the Classics and Archaeology department gave her a larger understanding of the importance of a reference collection to conserving a collection.
