The Field Museum
This museum is found in the south of downtown adjacent to Soldier Field. This is the best museum with quality exhibits equal to the Smithsonian. Don’t miss the Mammals of Asia and Native American Halls or the Underground Adventure where you can view life from a bug’s perspective. One of the best features of the museum is a huge collection of stuffed animals from all over the world. The animals are placed in natural type environments which is the best part of the collection. On your last minute vacation you have got to see SUE, the world’s largest and most complete T Rex. The Grand Hall entrance of the museum has been featured in a fairly recent movie.
