Travel with the Field Museum

For more than a century, Field Museum scientists have been travelling the globe in search of answers to some of our world’s biggest questions. Now, you can travel with them on unforgettable journeys to see where their groundbreaking discoveries have been made.

The Founders’ Council Travel Program offers one-of-a-kind journeys only available with the Field Museum. Our scientists and experts will take you behind the scenes of active research sites and destinations that have shaped our collections of 40 million objects and specimens. Join Field experts to tour the archaeological sites where they have found fascinating treasures and the landscapes they have become one with while studying animal behavior, all while enjoying hands-on cultural immersions alongside expert guides. With exclusive visits to acclaimed museums, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and globally celebrated restaurants, you won’t want to miss these opportunities to travel with the Field!

Participation in the Founders’ Council Travel Program is an opportunity available for members of the Founders’ Council and their guests. For questions about this donor community and for information on the Founders’ Council Travel Program, email founderscouncil@fieldmuseum.org or call 312.665.7773.
