The Field Museum

The Field Museum is your passport to travel the world and back in time with 4.5 billion years of history under one roof. Field is also one of the few places in the United States where you can visit an ancient Egyptian tomb featuring mummies, a Book of the Dead, and artifacts from everyday Egyptian life. Journey through 4 billion years of life on Earth in the Evolving Planet exhibit and marvel over precious stones — from their rough beginnings to sparkling jewelry — in the Grainger Hall of Gems. In Underground Adventure you can “shrink” to 1/100th of your actual size to explore the world under our feet. Come face-to-face with a giant mole cricket, wolf spider, and other animatronic creatures at 100 times their actual size.
