The Field Museum was founded in 1893 to house the biological and anthropological collections assembled for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Now one of the world’s greatest and largest museums of natural history, its collection has grown to an incredible 40 million artifacts, including dinosaur fossils, ancient mummies, exquisite gemstones, and much, much more!
The Field Museum is a must-see Chicago destination.

With 4.6 billion years in one place, the Field Museum takes you to the farthest reaches of this incredible planet we live on.
