About this event
Join us for National Fossil Day, our annual celebration of fossils and scientific discoveries at the Field Museum! Meet scientists, see rarely displayed items from our collections, and take part in hands-on activities throughout the museum.
Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.
During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the Grainger Science Hub. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.
Visit the Science Hub on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.
