Centers & Offices

Furthering our mission, supporting our people, and nurturing our community

The Field Museum’s centers and offices help people connect with nature and human cultures in imaginative and impactful ways: from creating memorable events and programs for the public, to providing academic and professional opportunities to underrepresented groups in science, to helping visitors experience nature through poetry.

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.

A crowd gathers to hear a speaker in Lecture Hall II. People sit in chairs facing a stage. A speaker stands at a podium, and a projector casts an image of outer space onto a screen against the wall.
