Field Museum members get unprecedented access to areas normally off-limits and a peek at rarely seen items from our vast collection.
This year, Members’ Nights are virtual! Explore the museum from the comfort of your home during this three-day, digital event. As a member, you’ll join us for behind-the-scenes tours of our science and collections led by scientists, curators, and more. Roam between oversized fossils. Meet the creatures in our fan-favorite live insect zoo. (They’re ready for their close-ups on camera this year!) Take in the artistry of Native beadwork from North America. We’re also opening up areas of the museum that you might not have seen before—even during previous Members Nights. Tune in to see what you’ll encounter.
This event is free for Field members with advance registration. All tours are hosted in Zoom, and you’ll receive your link to the events after registering.

Schedule of events
Members’ Nights kick off on November 19 with a special one-hour tour with President and CEO Julian Siggers. Then, join us on November 20 and 21 for any or all of the 20-minute sessions showcasing different collections and exhibitions. Each day also includes two 15-minute breaks. You can test your knowledge with Field trivia while also stretching your legs or grabbing a snack. The museum's online store is always open, so stock up on Field treats, gear, and more to celebrate the day.
Share questions for our hosts in advance by sending them to askthefield@fieldmuseum.org. And don’t worry if you miss a session. We’re recording all sessions to share with members after the event.
