 The Ancient Americas exhibition features over 13,000 years of Indigenous history in the Americas, leading up to the European arrival. But the story doesn't end there...a future Field Museum exhibition will examine the tumultuous history of the Americas from 1492 through today.
In addition, be sure to visit the Field Museum's many other fascinating permanent exhibitions about Indigenous peoples of the Americas, including:

Amazing historic photographs supplement life-sized cross-sections of houses and displays of tools, cooking gear, clothing, and luxury goods that portray the daily life and complex social organization of these maritime cultures.
