Field Museum of Natural History
|
The Field Museum of Natural History was originally established to
house a collection of important historical and natural objects from
the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The collection has grown
from this base and is exhibited in several large halls on the Chicago
Lakeshore. It is widely regarded as among the best museums in the
USA.
Key exhibits and collections include the largest and most complete
Tyrannosaur fossil yet discovered, African natural history and North
American Indians exhibits across a range of cultural and anthropological
subjects.
Throughout the year, special exhibits visit the museum and provide
insight into a variety of important cultural and historical areas.
In early 2002, the mysteries of ancient Egypt are revealed in the
Cleopatra special exhibit.
