I think I went to Chicago a year too early. I found out today while I was sitting at the dentist's office that an exhibit from the Forbidden City will be shown at the Field Museum in Chicago. While I was waiting for my appointment, Discover Magazine had an article on how they packaged the items and then had to secretly ship the exhibit to the United States. (They did not want the items stolen while they were in transit).
A lot of the major museums on Chicago are placed conveniently next to each other -- the Aquarium, the Planetarium, the Field Museum are all in the same general vicinity. We did not have time to visit the Field Museum when I was visiting, so I should like to go back and see it, preferrably while the exhibit is there.
