The Field Museum in Chicago, IL Permanent Exhibits: Evolving Planet Is a journey that takes you through 4 billion years of life on Earth, from single-celled organisms to towering dinosaurs and our extended human family. Unique fossils, animated videos, hands-on interactive displays, and recreated sea- and landscapes help tell the compelling story of evolution—the single process that connects everything that’s ever lived on Earth.

SueNo dinosaur in the world compares to SUE—the largest, most complete, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever discovered. In May 2000, the unveiling of her 67-million-year-old skeleton at The Field Museum made global headlines. Since then, more than 16 million visitors have marveled over Chicago’s prehistoric giant. Temporary Exhibits: May 5, 2010-Sept. 6, 2010Mammoths and Mastodons:Titans of the Ice Age From the gigantic mammoth to the massive mastodon, these creatures have captured the world’s fascination.  Meet “Lyuba,” the best-preserved baby mammoth in the world, and discover all that we’ve learned from her. The ticket prices are bit hefty coming around to 30 dollars for an adult (if you don’t live in Chicago) but I would love to go here and I’m sad it won’t be when they still have “Lyuba”.
