What travelers say:

Founded in 1906, the Field Museum of Natural History has set aside more than 6 hectares for exhibitions, exploring the cultures and environments around the world. The Field Museum has a collection of more than 21 million specimens, including educational exhibitions, Academic research and collections of conservation features, from beetles and mummies to ape specimens, and gemstones. Sippa was first seen before the visit, and he was taken in Morocco seven years ago when he was born, and he was already a handsome child when he met seven years later. His parents were Thai diplomats sent to Rabat seven years ago and are now sent to Chicago, another reason for the trip. In the prehistoric museum, I saw jellyfish fossils from Morocco tens of millions of years ago, and confirmed that the Sahara was the underwater world tens of millions of years ago. During the visit, we were all puzzled by the sit-in of a researcher, thinking it was a model. More than 10 minutes later he stood up like we showed the fossil samples he had drilled to find out he was a real person and admired his dedication. One of the many dinosaur displays here is Sue-Su. Sue, the largest and most complete living fossil of the Rex Tyrannosaurus, was discovered by American paleontologist Sue Hendrickson in western South Dakota on August 12, 1990, and hence named her. The Chicago Field Museum of Natural History bought it for $8.36 million at an auction hosted by Sotheby's in New York on October 4, 1997. This is the highest price ever for fossils of paleontology. Sue has since become the Field Museum's permanent collection, the treasure of the town hall. The museum currently exhibits "Tang Zhongying Chinese Antiquities" and "Egyptian Mummy". The Mummy exhibition is the most complete historical exhibition of Egyptian mummies I have ever seen. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the mummies' social background, rituals, ways of doing and specific production processes. Not only is it eye-opening, but it also increases knowledge. Aerial Botanical Garden in the museum hall. When water is needed, the chain can be dropped to the ground to spray water, and then to the air after the end.
