Field Museum of Natural History
Our vast collection is just a small part of what we do. From publishing groundbreaking science, to cataloguing new species—we are committed to connecting all of us to the natural world and the human story.
Housing one of the most diverse collections of historical artifacts in the world – with no less than 40 million fascinating specimens lining its halls — a visit to the Field Museum is an absolute must for anyone interested in science, archaeology, or anthropology.
With exhibitions ranging from Ancient Egyptian mummies to dinosaur bones (keep an eye out for Sue the T-rex!), millennia-old fossils, the science of color, interactive displays, and a whole lot more, there’s truly something for everyone at the historic (dating back to 1893) and enormous Field Museum.
