Anneliese Pesce

Anna joined the Avenir Conservation Center at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science Conservation team in January 2026, primarily to work on the deinstallation of the North American Indian Cultures Hall. Her work with museum and science centers began at Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she discovered a passion for working in a museum setting. She has since worked with museum collections at the University of Colorado Natural History Museum and the Aurora History Museum.

Anna deeply enjoys working with Anthropology collections and is grateful to have the opportunity to learn more about the intersection between conservation practices and collections management strategies, as well as how Indigenous knowledge informs care for cultural heritage objects. She is aiming to deepen her knowledge of conservation as a field, as well as expand her experience with large anthropology collections, before attending a graduate program.
