After leaving the Shedd Aquarium, we walked for a little bit and arrived at the Field Museum. It was quite big, and we could easily get lost. They had all types of different cultures to learn about and a bunch of visual learning opportunities; there were fake pyramids with mummies, and a lot of mounted animals like tigers, bears, and other animals for the African exhibit. We watched a movie while we were there about the Terracotta Warriors, and how in the 1800-1900s they were found. It was a revolutionary thing, because it told a lot about the Asian history, and it demonstrated how important the rulers of yesteryear felt their armies were to them. My favorite exhibit would have been the room filled with the gem Jade. There was even a suit made out of it. By far this was my favorite event.
