This is one of Chicago's finest museums. It smells like moth balls so you pretty much know everything is well preserved. As a child my favorite part about this place was to count all the steps on the way up to the door. There are a lot of them. The field museum traces the evolution of man, beast and earth. You will see a sample of hundreds of mammals, birds, rocks and earthenware. The mammals are stuffed and positioned in mock natural settings to give you an idea of their home environments. You can also tour samples of every continent. It's a very interesting place.!
