Field Museum , Chicago , Illinois

This is a must see spot if you are visiting Chicago. Although initially my plan was to skip this , I think I would have missed a life time opportunity if I didn't go there. The stuffed animals and plants display is one of the great attractions.

Actually one or two days you can easily spent in the field museum. Unlike other museums there is a diverse kind of display which makes people who are generally not interested in Museums thrilled !

There are giant TRex displays which gives a feeling of the magnanimity of ancient creatures that ruled the earth. There is display of different kinds or ornaments used in different parts of the world. Display of different kinds of gems and pearls gives you a glimpse of the variety in gems and diamonds.
