The Field Museum (a natural science museum)


The planner in Chicago did a great job of saving lots of land along the lake to save for public projects.  Of course, the Field Museum is named after the family who owned Marshall Field's.  They were movers and shakers in all aspects of Chicago.

There is the facade of the museum.

A glass-topped entrace they added.  Like The Louvre.

This is Sue the world's largest, most complete and best preserved T. Rex., named after the person who discovered her in North Dakota.


This is the great hall, as one enters.




This is the new Soldier Field, just across the street from the museum.
