The Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice DNA Discovery Center DNA gives you a behind-the-scenes look at ground-breaking research that is being conducted in The Field Museum’s Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution. Through the exhibition, you’ll learn what DNA is, how it works, where it’s found, and how Field Museum scientists use it to understand the relationships and evolution of life on Earth.
But the DNA Discovery Center isn’t the only Field Museum exhibition that explores the connections between species. Take a look at our many other fascinating permanent exhibits that tackle the intriguing questions of heredity, evolution, and habitat preservation.
