Our Mission

The Field Museum fuels a journey of discovery across time to enable solutions for a brighter future rich in nature and culture.

The museum will be closed from November 20 through at least December 4, due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Illinois and to comply with city and state advisories. In the meantime, stay in touch with us online for updates and a peek behind the scenes at all the ways the Field is working to build a brighter future rich in nature and culture.

For information about existing ticket reservations, email us at guestrelations@fieldmuseum.org or call 312.922.9410. (Or, save yourself a call and donate the amount of your ticket to the museum!) Thanks for supporting the Field, and we look forward to welcoming you back when it's safe to do so.
