Review:
Established in 1893, The Field Museum of Natural History is one of the largest museums of its kind in the world. Permanent exhibits cover topics from ancient Egypt to evolution to the life of bugs, and visitors will be amazed by Sue, the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever discovered.
Several working laboratories are also found in the museum, and visitors can watch real scientists as they extract DNA, prepare fossils for study, and perform other tasks. The museum is open every day except Christmas, and it also offers 3D movies and educational programs for people of all ages.
The Field Museum, 1400 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, Illinois 60605, Phone: 312-922-9410
