Introduction

The Field Museum is one of Chicago's and America's top natural history museums. Housed in a grand building on Chicago's Museum Campus along Lake Michigan, it is world-renowned for its extraordinarily rich collections, world-class dinosaur exhibitions and its iconic Tyrannosaurus rex "Sue," a must-visit for natural history enthusiasts. Founded in 1893 for the Chicago World's Fair, it holds over 20 million specimens and artifacts. Its most famous star exhibit is "Sue" — the most complete and largest T. rex fossil ever discovered, about 12.2 m long and 4 m tall, standing majestically in the main hall, awe-inspiring to every visitor. Beyond dinosaurs, the museum features rich exhibitions: anthropology from ancient Egypt, Pacific islands and Native American cultures; biodiversity from African savannas to deep-sea ecosystems; and gems and minerals — all rich and fascinating. Located on the Museum Campus beside the Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium, visiting The Field Museum to face T. rex "Sue" and explore the grand story of natural history is a stirring, spectacular Chicago experience.
