Field Museum pics

The one that was in the main hall is the one that went to the airport.

How did I miss "that" at the airport? Maybe we flew into Midway.

Well, as noted, it's in the United Airlines terminal. Unless you were flying United, it'd be very easy to miss.

A metal cast went outside and during the hockey playoffs it wears a giant custom Jonathan Toews jersey.

I wonder what Captain Serious thinks of that? Probably gets a kick out of it! Kudos to museum management for having civic pride!

Ha ha, I'm sure it makes him scowl less than normal.

Well, I didn't notice the UA in your post. We did go through ORD but we flew AC so I guess that is why we missed it.

Ha ha, I'm sure it makes him scowl less than normal.

I looked up an image of the Brach with the Hawks jersey on, that is hilarious!

Thanks for all of these pics Halichoeres!  As I mentioned in my member intro your workplace was a sort of mecca for me in my gradeschool days.  Seeing so many of my old friends in updated venues and poses is kind of like attending a 50 year reunion!  I remember that when I heard that Sue would be set up at one end of the hall I thought it was a mistake not to situate her smack in the center.  I was so wrong.  She plain dominates that entry hall!
The gift shop visit was always a high point of a day at the Field Museum.  Back then I would stock up on Marx and MPC figures (the carded sets) and postcards and slides of Charles Knight's classic diorama scenes.  I even feel nostalgia for the weak Kool-Aid type drink that they served in the old museum cafeteria!

Thanks for all these great pics! I haven't been to the Field Museum for decades. It would be great to get back there again. Luckily, I have the AMNH right here in my neck of the woods. I was just there again last year, and their gift shop in the prehistoric wing still had a huge Safari selection, both Carnegie and WS, as well as some CollectAs. They also had some Kinto Favorite desktop models.

(Wow, Andrew! It's been five years already since you, Chris and I were at the AMNH? Time does fly!)
