Glore museumJOPLIN (AP) – Pillowcases featuring art and messages from patients at a Missouri mental hospital are on display in St. Joseph.

The exhibit, called “Pillows of Unrest,” opened this month at the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph. The museum says on its website that the pillowcases will remain on display through July 2015.

The project had patients at Fulton State Hospital depict their struggles using colored permanent markers and white pillowcases.

Fulton State Hospital opened in 1851. It houses the state’s only maximum security psychiatric facility.
