If you’ve ever wanted to understand the world’s natural history but never got what was going on in science classes, the Field Museum of Natural History might just be a new learning opportunity. The museum is revered for the size and quality of its educational and scientific programmes, which immerse you thoroughly in the field of natural history without once becoming boring. This is achieved with the help of their incredible range of scientific specimens, such as the giant fossil of the tyrannosaurus rex that towers menacingly over everyone at the entrance. These larger than life exhibits are sure to make you feel small in the vastness of the natural world and its history, while at the same time teaching you a little about ancient cultures and their interaction with the environment. The Museum will take you on a time warp through the ages, all the way to the present with an urgent call for conservation.
