The N. W. Harris Learning Collection at the Field Museum gives educators and parents a chance to take the Museum's collection to their classroom or home. Borrow these specimens, items, and related curricular materials for up to three weeks, and when you return your borrowed treasures, peruse the over 100-year-old Learning Collection to take something new.
