We're kind of sad that we left the Field Museum for last, because we really would have liked to spend more than one day here. (Indeed, we've already planned our return!)
The first exhibit you see at the Field is Sue, the T-Rex. Sue is the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found, and is named after the scientist who found her. Isn't she gorgeous?
We enjoyed Sue immensely, especially the movie they showed about her life, death, discovery and subsequent “life” as one of the world's most famous fossils.
We saw other exhibits at the Field where photography was not allowed, but we've got lots of good memories of those: Genghis Khan, Extreme Mammals, and Images of the Afterlife, which featured a complete Egyptian mummy. And there are so, so many more we have yet to see ... but that will have to wait for another blog.
