THE FIELD MUSEUM

Make your first stop a meeting with SUE: the largest, most complete, and best preserved T. rex ever discovered. Named after the fossil hunter that found her, SUE is 40.5 feet long, weighs over 3,000 pounds and can't wait for photo with you! So bring your camera.

Unlock the secrets of the mysterious and mystical in the Inside Ancient Egypt exhibit. Climb to the top of a tomb to see a mummy below and descend to find the aftermath of robbers. Then, read the Book of the Dead-a guide to the "after" world -surrounded by coffins and buried objects of gold, shell, and more.

Discover gemstones that look like they came from other planets along with Tiffany & Co. pieces from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in the Grainger Hall of Gems. Don't miss the eye-popping 5,890-carat Chalmers topaz or any of the 600 gemstones and 150 pieces of jewelry on display. You can even propose to your significant other here! The Field will put your engagement ring inside a dedicated case with a personal message. We recommend "Will you marry me?"

Journey through 4 billion years of life on Earth in the Evolving Planet. You'll find unique fossils, hands-on interactive displays, and recreated sea- and landscapes that help tell the story of how we got here today.

Imagine living in an 800-year-old pueblo and sharing one room - cooking, eating, and sleeping - with your whole family in The Ancient Americas. Then, shrink to less than an inch tall in Underground Adventure, where you can crawl inside a cicada skeleton to see and feel how tough it is to be a bug.

Watch The Field's exhibitions come to life in the Ernst & Young 3-D Theater - Chicago's only completely digital 3-D theater. And make sure you check out the temporary exhibit Genghis Khan, open until September 3.  Uncover the amazing story of one of the world's greatest leaders and most misunderstood conquerors.
