This year, the Field Museum joins the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in celebration of all things about the resilient American Bison.
Three bronze bison sculptures will be installed on the upper plinths of the mall side entrance of the Smithsonian&rsquo;s National Museum of Natural History(NMNH), created by sculptor Gary Staab in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The three larger-than-life bronze bison statues will undertake a week-long, cross-country stampede from a foundry in Colorado to the Smithsonian, including a stop at the Field Museum .
