N.W. Harris Learning Collection

The N. W. Harris Learning Collection at the Field Museum allows you to take real specimens and artifacts into your home or classroom.

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.

Office Hours

The N. W. Harris Learning Collection does not have the same hours of operation as the Field Museum. The pickup and drop and off of Harris items are by appointment only. Please email harris@fieldmuseum.org to arrange a pick up and drop off time for your items.
