Chicago Field Museum
Chicago's Field Museum is one of the world's leading museums of natural history. The museum was originally founded as a part of the World's Columbian Exposition in the late 19th century. Unlike many similar museums which not only present natural history, but arts and sciences as well, the Field Museum of Natural History can focus on what it does best, leaving Chicago's other museums to take care of the rest. The dinosaur exhibits are favorites with the kids, but your entire family will enjoy the Field Museum. More than just a collection of relics that are locked behind glass cases for your inspection, the museum works hard to make sure that exhibits are genuinely instructive and interesting.

The Museum has excellent presentations on the life and culture of Native Americans. Field Museum also hosts a number of outstanding "long-term temporary exhibits". Many would be permanent exhibitions in other museums, but the Field Museum has amassed such a large collection that even 14 acres of gallery space is not enough to permanently display everything. Like all museums in Chicago, admission is always free one day each week.
