The Field Museum,Chicago --Pictures

After the NADA2016 Show in Chicago, my family and I took a few days R &R and did some traveling. Not being a city guy, we headed up North. But before we did we made a pilgrimage to an Awesome Natural History Museum in Chicago, The Field Museum. We can't pass up science museums and The Natural History Museum here is phenomenal. If I lived near it, it would be my second home, but we only had a few hours, so these are snap shots of some of the exhibits and things that caught my eye.

Some more. I never quite got over my fascination with Dinosaurs and old Bones. ... Its a real challenge working with Dim Museum Lighting!

Really was a nice museum, but not cheap by any Means!! We could have spent hours more there and not seen it all.

Very nice Al... Glad to see you guys enjoy your time in Chicago.

I could have spend a week in there Al and that is without the camera. In the picture of the entrance one of the banners said "Waking T-Rex". What was that all about? Really enjoyed your photos.

Where else did you go up north?

It was great to meet you and your family!

Way cool.

Thanks for all the great photos Al, I sure wish I could have gone there and spent hours. It was so nice to finally meet you in person, sorry I didn't get to meet your family too. Can you share pics of the rest of your trip?
Barb

Nice pics, Al.....if you had more time, the 'Museum of Science and Industry' was there too....plus many others around the city...

Chicago does have some World Class Museums... too bad you didn't have time to check out the others too. Those are some of the nicest pics I've seen coming out of that place though geat job!

The outside looks a little like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which we visit at last a couple of times a year.

Nice shots!
