FAMILY FUN CALENDAR

Imagine what it would feel like to stand next to a T. rex. Ponder what flowers smelled like 30 million years ago. See what inspiration you'll find and start turning your ideas into poetry with Eric Elshtain, the Field Museum's first poet-in-residence. Join the Field Museum for a series of weekly events that change how you see the museum—whether you’ve visited once or dozens of times. Encounter objects from our collection. Tour an exhibition. Find our poet-in-residence at a typewriter station to craft your own poem. No prior knowledge of poetry needed.  

Event Cost: Free, Illinois Free Day at Field Museum

Event Times: 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
