Enjoy such temporary exhibits like Creatures of Light and discover the magic of bioluminescence. This exhibition highlights creatures from around the world that have one thing in common; their ability to illuminate. Lovers of art, style, and history will enjoy Maria Pinto Fashions. At Images of the Afterlife you can come face-to-face with ancient Egyptian mummies from Field Museum collections will come face-to-face with the public like never before. And don’t forget about the 35 permanent exhibits. See Sue, the largest and most complete T. rex dinosaur fossil ever found. Then visit Lions of Tsavo, the Ancient Egypt exhibit and many others.
