Chicago’s Field Museum

Written by Finn Martin and Gavin Meichelbock

Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, the Field Museum in Chicago has stood in its current location since 1921. While its collection began with items from the 1893 World’s Fair, the Field Museum continues to reexamine and promote underrepresented cultures with it exhibits. Now, its collection expands to more than 40 million artifacts and specimens that range from taxidermies of a gorilla, Egyptian sarcophagi and the skeletal remains of a titanosaur. Spread across two floors, the Field Museum offers countless opportunities for educational and cultural enrichment.
