Temporary Exhibition Viewings:
The Field Museum hosts many temporary exhibitions. Event clients have the option to offer their guests a unique, private viewing of these exhibitions during their event based on availability and at an additional fee.

Current & Upcoming Temporary Exhibitions:

Nature Unleashed: Inside Natural Disasters
May 23, 2008—January 4, 2009
Explore the earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters from the ancient past and not-too-distant future that both fascinate and frighten us.

The Aztec World
October 31, 2008—April 19, 2009
Explore the grandeur and complexity of one of the world's great civilizations.  In the span of less than 200 years, the Aztecs went from a nomadic group to one of the most powerful societies ever, leaving behind a legacy that lives on today.  Now, find out how this civilization that began in the middle of a lake went on to rapidly become one of the most influential empires of all time.  Journey into the everyday lives of the farmers, merchants, weavers and traders whose work laid the foundation for this great civilization.  Examine the deities, temples and sacrificial alters of Aztec religion.  Explore the training, weapons and celebrations of Aztec warriors.  Discover the privilege, possessions and treasures of Aztec rulers.  Through hundreds of spectacular artifacts and works of art, assembled together for the first time in Chicago, trace the remarkable rise and fall of The Aztec World exclusively at The Field Museum.
