The Field Museum is a massive natural history museum on the lakefront with world-class exhibits spanning ancient Egypt, indigenous cultures, dinosaurs, and natural sciences across multiple floors. Highlights include authentic Egyptian mummies and artifacts, the Ancient Americas collection, and extensive animal and fossil displays. Plan for a full day, and note that the Egyptian collection is smaller than some visitors expect, and some sections rely heavily on models rather than original artifacts.
