Field Museum of Natural History Chicago

The Field Museum of Natural History, at 1400 S. Lakeshore Drive in Chicago, is one of the most popular attractions of the city’s South Loop area. It houses over twenty million artifacts, and employs seventy top-ranked scientists. It is the fictional home of adventure movie archaeologist-hero Indiana Jones. The biggest attraction at this museum is a 13-foot-tall, 41-foot-long Tyrannosaurus Rex known as Sue. Named after Sue Hendrickson, the paleontologist who discovered the bones in South Dakota in 1990, this is the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found. Only ten percent of the skeleton is missing. Sue’s skull is so heavy, a replica had to be put on the main exhibit. The real skull is displayed nearby.
