Field Museum
Overview
Founded on the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, now a lakefront palace of natural history. SUE, the largest and most complete T. rex, greets Stanley Field Hall, with the man-eating lions of Tsavo, 480,000 specimens in the mammal collections, and ancient Egypt recreated below the grand stairs.
