The Field Museum, Chicago, IL

The Field Museum has permanent exhibits that range from the earliest fossils to present cultures around the world. Attracting nearly 2 million visitors each year, this museum houses a collection of over 20 million cultural and anthropological artifacts from every corner of the world.

This museum includes a T-Rex, the best-preserved fossil ever found. Named after the woman who found it in 1990, this 13 ft fossil is 67 million years old.

Another remarkable exhibit is the Egyptian burial chamber, which includes 23 real mummies and a section dedicated to the natural habitats of animals and insects living underground. Explore cultures present and past, find the latest scientific discoveries, and travel the world right in downtown Chicago.
