Lonely Planet review for Field Museum of Natural History

The Field Museum has over 70 PhD-wielding scientists and 20 million artifacts, so you know things are going to be hopping. The big attraction is the Tyrannosaurus rex named Sue, a 13ft-tall, 41ft-long beast who menaces the grand space with ferocious aplomb. Sue, the most complete T rex ever discovered, takes its name from Sue Hendrickson, the fossil hunter who found the 90%-complete skeleton in South Dakota in 1990.

    Say hi to Sue.

    remelila recommends this,

    Indiana Jones' treasures went to the Field Museum, probably one of the best natural history museums in the US. Sue the T. Rex is the museum's star, but there's plenty more to see here, too.
