The Field Museum

Deck the Dinos!

The holiday season starts today at the Field!

<p dir="auto">Meet Field Museum scientists who have just returned from conducting Rapid Inventories in the Guyanese Amazon rainforest and learn what they found during these expeditions. Discover what Rapid Inventories are and why they are essential to conservation efforts.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="auto">Presenters include Lesley de Souza, Lead Conservation Scientist; Cameron Rutt, Conservation Ecologist; Elliott Oakley, Environmental Social Scientist.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.</span></p>
<p>During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the <em><a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/exhibitions/grainger-science-hub">Grainger&nbsp;Science Hub</a></em>. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum&rsquo;s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there&rsquo;s a world of science to explore.</p>
<p>Visit the&nbsp;<em>Science Hub</em> on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.</p>

Illinois Free Wednesdays

<p>Imagine what it would feel like to stand next to a <em>T. rex.</em> Ponder what flowers smelled like 30 million years ago. See what inspiration you'll find and start turning your ideas into poetry with Eric Elshtain, the Field Museum's first poet in residence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Join us for a series of weekly events that change how you see the museum—whether you’ve visited once or dozens of times. Encounter objects from our collection. Tour an exhibition. Find our poet in residence at a typewriter station to craft your own poem!</p>
<p>Eric hosts pop-ups most Thursdays from 10am–12pm, in locations across the museum. No prior knowledge of poetry needed. &nbsp;</p>

Poetry Pop-up: Lives of Plants 

Poetry Pop-up: Poetry is the Thing with Feathers 

Poetry Pop-up: The Game of Poetry

Discover the natural world through poetry at weekly pop-up events featuring the Field’s poet in residence.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Poetry Pop-Up
