Dino Night: Archaeopteryx Exhibition Opening

Experience the Field Museum’s newest exhibition at this after-hours event.

Member Exhibition Viewing

Join us at this member's only event as we celebrate the Chicago Archaeopteryx’s new permanent home!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy Hour will begin at 5:30pm, with complimentary drinks and light bites. Guests will have access to the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Evolving Planet</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> exhibition, where the Chicago </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Archaeopteryx </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">can be seen in its new home. Grab a bite and a drink and mingle with our scientific staff before the main event.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At 7pm, hear from punk rock paleontologist, Jingmai O&rsquo;Connor. Learn about </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Archaeopteryx</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the oldest known bird, from its initial discovery to its perch as </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> icon of evolution. Discover why, after 164 years of research on a dozen specimens, the Chicago </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Archaeopteryx</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (lucky #13) still has much to teach us about the biology of this iconic species and the transition from dinosaur to dinosaur-bird.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each ticket includes Happy Hour food and beverages, entrance to the Evolving Planet exhibition, and admission to the <em>Archeopteryx</em> lecture.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">This event is for adults ages 21+.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">All ticket sales are </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">final.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">&nbsp;</span></em></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us for the 8th Annual Indigenous Peoples&rsquo; Day Teach In presented in partnership with Smithsonian&rsquo;s National Museum of the American Indian and Teaching for Change. This event is an opportunity for educators to convene in person to strategize ways to uplift Native voices in the classroom.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The day will begin with collective participation in a virtual live-streamed keynote address delivered by Dr. Elizabeth Rule (enrolled citizen of the Chickasaw Nation). She will highlight the centrality of Native peoples to the history of the District of Columbia, showcase Indigenous contributions to the capital city, and discuss efforts under way to reaffirm DC as an Indigenous place.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She will also explore what teaching about Indigenous peoples looks like in a modern context and how teachers can become allies with the Native community by imparting lessons, inspiration, and empowerment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the keynote address, Chicagoland participants will follow Dr. Rule&rsquo;s lead and explore Chicago as an Indigenous place by looking at Native peoples&rsquo; impact on the history of this place, its presence, and the future.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We will spend targeted time in the <em>Native Truths: Our Voices, Our Stories</em> exhibition, collaborate with peers, and have a lunch that highlights Native food.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cost of this event is $45 and includes lunch, parking, and additional curricular resources.</span></p>

Indigenous Peoples’ Day Teach In

Join us for an exciting professional development opportunity for Pre-K-12 educators.

<p>Imagine what it would feel like to stand next to a <em>T. rex.</em> Ponder what flowers smelled like 30 million years ago. See what inspiration you'll find and start turning your ideas into poetry with Eric Elshtain, the Field Museum's first poet in residence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Join us for a series of weekly events that change how you see the museum—whether you’ve visited once or dozens of times. Encounter objects from our collection. Tour an exhibition. Find our poet in residence at a typewriter station to craft your own poem!</p>
<p>Eric hosts pop-ups most Thursdays from 10am–12pm, in locations across the museum. No prior knowledge of poetry needed. &nbsp;</p>

Poetry Pop-up: Poetic Jewels

Poetry Pop-up: Salt Sea Poetry

Discover the natural world through poetry at weekly pop-up events featuring the Field’s poet in residence.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.
