The Field Museum fuels a journey of discovery across time to enable solutions for a brighter future rich in nature and culture. Located on Chicago's iconic Lake Michigan shore, the Field Museum opened its current building to the public in 1921-but their story began years earlier.

Their collection grew out of items on display in the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in the "White City." The exposition delighted visitors with 65,000 exhibits filled with natural wonders and cultural artifacts, many of which later found a permanent home in Chicago at the newly created Field Columbian Museum. The museum name still honors Marshall Field, who donated $1 million to make the collective dream of a permanent museum a reality.

Since opening the Museum in 1894, their collection has grown to nearly 40 million artifacts and specimens. The breadth of their mission has expanded, too. They continue to research the objects in their collections, as well as document previously unknown species, conserve ecosystems in our backyard and across the globe, educate budding scientists, invite cross-cultural conversation, and more-all to ensure that our planet thrives for generations to come.
