This interactive exhibition is making its international debut right here in Chicago. It’s a must-see for fans of science, Pokémon, and everything in between. Featuring Excavator Pikachu, Pokémon Professors, and Field Museum scientists, it’s a journey through time, imagination, and discovery—and it’s only at the Field Museum.
