The Field Museum -New and Classic Exhibits - Chicago, IL 

I am happy to see that the killer lions of Tsavo exhibit I worked on in 1996 is still the same. We updated it in preparation for the movie “The Ghost in the Darkness” by adding thorn bushes behind the lions. The thorn bushes were taken from trimmings from trees in Grant Park. We added long thorns to the branches by gluing painted toothpicks to them. The lions could not be moved, so we had to climb inside the case and paint around the lions. This was done during museum hours and I still remember hundreds of school children banging on the glass.

Chicago native here... the field museum has some of the most famous dino murals painted by Charles Knight... all the moldorama dinos are based on his murals!! They were created i believe fior the 64 worlds fair in NY. Happy travels friend.

When you show the mold o rama making the figures I can smell the figure ❤❤❤

Chicago Field Museum is definitely worth the trip.

Can only say this: It is an absolutely beautiful museum, well worth any trip to Chicago.

This is one of the best museums I've ever been too. Actually been back 3 times. This brings back great memories.

Hi, I'm neurodivergent and I loved museums. Thank you for your videos, they allow me to travel with you from the comfort of my home.

I have been a member of the Field since 1994. I LOVE that museum with a passion and would often just wander the halls and sit to take it all in. All of these years later, I still have not seen or done everything. Welcome (back) to Chicago.

Great to see you making vlogs and spending time in my home City Chicago. The Field Museum is excellent, as is The Museum of Science and History and the Art Institute.

Thank you, the visit was very interesting and beautiful, everything you don't see otherwise has been shown here!

Super cool to see you at The Field! Chicago is lucky to have it.

I was at the field museum a couple weeks ago, honestly one of my favorite museums out there

“Such a beautiful and colorful pile of dead animals”…. 😂😂 Love your videos!

Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. This was so interesting. I love the taxidermy. Everything looks so life like. You crack me up with your enthusiasm for the Mold A Rama. Good to see you enjoying yourself.

Not racist. It's not racist to display the awesome difference in the human race. I really like the nature museums. Thank you for sharing your visit to this awesome museum!

It's been years since I've been to Field. Thank you so much for showing this. I hope to revisit my friend the cat spirit in the Egyptian room soon. Best wishes!

Went here not to long ago with my family! It’s amazing!

This museum and the remnants of the worlds fairs and the stadium are the only reason why I would visit Chicago...

The field museum is so near and dear 2 my heart so excited to see you romp through it

i love your museum tours.

That was so awesome!! Must put on my bucket list for the summer road trips.

Thank you for the tour. I have not been to this museum since the middle 1970's . I lived in Milwaukee at that time. but now Milwaukee is going to have theirs demolished . Such a shame that the building is falling apart. Much of the exhibits will not make it to their new museum, which is smaller than the other one from the 1960's . So much will be lost.

This place looks ace! Loving the recent content from Chicago so far!

Love this. It's amazing. Thank you for sharing. Please take care of yourself and be safe.

Those molded figures would be really awesome to collect

Ooh your at the field museum! I’ve been here a lot, great museum!

Born cook county hospital. Moved to Florida when I couldn’t shovel snow any longer but thank you much sir.

We were just there a few weeks ago. Would have been crazy if we saw you there! Love all the info you give in the beginning. Maximo is huge but Sue is the reason we keep going back! It was so much more busy when you went. Always cool to see you at our home town. Happy New Year to you.

I remember that I went to the field museum in Chicago Illinois and also I’m from Chicago so I have heard of the field museum

I laughed for a minute straight at the Sue Lynn Panda story. Thanks, I needed that. I like these museum vids, good job. 👍🏼

Thanks. Went here many times when I was growing up in the Chicago area. The Mold-A-Ramas are great. Only the price has changed.

I love the field museum and I have very fond memories of it I remember about 4-5 years ago now I performed in the main room of the museum

It looks a amazing museum jacob, thank you for sharing

Wonderful museum. I have not been there in many many years but it is always so interesting and one of my favorites!

Hell yes dude, my favorite museums. Touring exhibits and sue are always fun to check out The basement area with the picnic tables was such an odd place to put them. But made for an interesting lunch area on Field Trips

seeing you go to my childhood museums makes my day! thank you for visiting!!

Growing up in Chicago, my 2 favorite places to visit were Field Museum and Brookfield Zoo. Was always fascinated by the dinosaur exhibit and the remarkable murals by Charles Knight.

This is one of my favorite museums. I haven't been there in years so it was great seeing it again. 😊

If you haven’t read Erik Larson’s book “ The Devil in the White City” about H.H.Holmes and the 1893 Columbia Exposition, do it- fascinating book!

Never heard of this before, but I would love to visit. You went in during daylight and came out at night. Definitely would have to go at 8 am to see everything. Lol My favorite would have to be the Malvina Hoffman exhibit and the shrunken exhibit. The Malvina Hoffman statues were absolutely beautiful and was done in good taste. I don't see them as racist at all. It's other things that I saw as racist, but had nothing to do with Ms. Hoffman exhibit. I am super surprised to see all the Mold-a-ramas!! And they all worked!!! Lol Thanks Jacob!! Looks like I've added another place to visit on my Carpetbagger list.

Glad you showed the field museum lived in Chicago for 23 years and were i was born i only got to go there once and didn't get to stay long but I loved it went to the the museum of science and industry a lot and never got to see everything thank you carpetbagger for sharing your adventures

Just GOING to Chicago is A LOT scarier than that dinosaurer.

I can't wait to go visit Sue and Maximo and all of the others. Thank you for this fabulously awesome video!!!

I like this exhibit how they have good comparisons to us

Always nice to see some interesting museums since I am Canadian can't get there just yet. Thanks

Thank you for this extrodenary trip through a museum that I, a New Englander, had never even heard of before, and is it ever a dandy!

Oh Jacob! You can’t be the only human skeleton in a primate display. That would only confuse people. I’ve been to the Field Museum once, many years ago. It was probably the best museum I’ve seen in the US. And the Science and Technology museum close by was also top notch.

Great tour...fascinating..thanks CB you are the best!!!!⚱⚰🗿

Love when you visit our beloved city. Pointing out the positives and attractions. Saw your visit to the torture museum, great work!

Thank you for sharing various museums with us -- I love seeing what each one has to offer

That place looks really cool! I think I'm heading to Chicago this weekend. I may have to put this and The Office Experience on the list.

God bless you carpetbagger stay safe and i love that you share your wonderful experiences to all the places you go

I used to watch this person on TV, his content is amazing to watch

I love this museum! I grew up always going there. Brings back so many memories. I live in LAs vegas now so it's nice to see it. My favorite exhibit was always the dinos and the mummies. I was always into ancient Egypt.

I love your videos and narration. Kudos!

So excited to see you visit the Field museum! I recently went to Chicago and wasn't able to make it to the Field museum, so I just vicariously lived through your experience. Great video as always!

Don't know how i missed watching this one. Well hope you are recovering well can't wait for you to get better and post more videos

Awe damn, Thats so cool you’re in my city. I’m a Chicago native. I love your videos, you got me through 2020

My mom and I had a great day, and when we got home we had tea and macaroons and watched this it was super fun

Awesome video. It was funny seeing a museum where I've actually been before and took so many photos. Good stuff!

Have not been here since they got the Beluga whales at the Shed Aquarium, Thanks for the tour. I need to go back. Do the Museum of Science and Industry PLZ.

If you ever come to England you should absolutely check out the Natural History Museum in London - it's one of my favourite museums in the UK. I think you'd love it! There's also another, smaller, Natural History Museum in Tring, about 30 miles outside of London. That's also worth checking out too!

Wow, I have not been there since the mid 80's as a very young kid. What a great place! I may have to take the kids on the 4 hour drive down 1-94 and check it out again. Thanks Jacob great video as usual.

What a fantastic museum! Thank you for sharing with us. Also all those great Mold o rama's.

I still get the molds of things😆

I haven’t been to Chicago yet, but I want to get Garrett popcorn and eat deep dish pizza at either Giordano’s or Lou Malnati’s. My mom has been to Chi-town before years ago. It’s snowing where I live in Marlton, NJ. Have fun Jake!

*I HAVENT BEEN HERE IN SO LONG IM SO FRICK FRAKING HAPPY!!!!*

I was there earlier this year and want to go back again so bad. Such a fun city! Thanks for the video

That is a huge Museum. You covered a lot of ground . Some very interesting exhibits . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

Loving the daily uploads jacob

THE CARPETBAGGER IS MY HERO 🏅 Cool place Ty I didn't know moths had long tongue

I'll never make it there so it's cool to see it! Thanks!!!

This place is on my bucket list... hoping to get there in a year or 2

Yes! I love that place!

This is where the famous man eating lions are that the ghost in the darkness movie is about, they are disturbing because they hunted together for the fun of it

The albino squirrel is my hometown of Olney Illinois hometown animal. Our town is even called “The Home of the White Squirrel”

Dude I love watching these baked asf

Talking with engineer friends, it's amazing that the tech in those moldorama machines haven't changed in years. The only thing that's changed is they take card now

Field is amazing, this and The Art Institute are enough to come visit Chicago.

Thank you for this video, I’ve always wanted to go there especially the man eating lions

I grew up in Chicago and went to the museum many times on field trips. Back then, I could have told you where every exhibit was. Lol

You mention the Tsavo man eaters coming to life at night. Immediately after, you look at a mummy close up and a child making noise in the background has a much eerier effect than normal

I do recommend going to the Science museum that is in Chicago and also I heard of people talking about that awesome museum and I’ve been there two times in a row

The original building from the Columbian exhibition is still standing --- it's been the Museum of Science and Industry for decades. Jacob --- would have loved to meet up with you when you were in town.

If your in Chicago go to the museum of science and industry. You could have talked about the field museum building being a relic from the turn of the century world's fair.

Went there in October, definitely one of the best, I like that they have 2 african cichlids alive

Enjoyed replay thanks 😊 😘

The sculptures are beautiful and I dont find it racist she captures the different races beautifully and how they were are and looked when she made them.

I love that the giant penny says in soil we trust lol

"The savage baboon, the relenting honey badger, and a horse." The Carpetbagger

The Horseshoe Crab is one of the most terrifying things when you flip it over.I'm getting goosebumps just writing this they are so ugly.

You are hilarious! Just made my Birthday lol. I'm from Chicago 🤣

I've been wanting to go there for years. I grew up in NYC, going to the American Museum of Natural History.

If you get caught up under Chicago's oppressive weather while on a trip and can't do what you planned - hunkering down in a museum is better than hunkering down in Macy's. You'll learn more and probably spend less. Consider bringing some deli sandwiches or something because the food options are just not good or are overpriced inside the museums, not the city specifically. I have not been since COVID and they used to be weird about backpacks and NO lockers. Check about current conditions. Parents of young children, diaper bags and strollers are your salvation for toting things backpacks would be used for. Ladies...use your big old lady Mimi purses. Hopefully they have changed their rules on backpacks. You can easily spend a whole day and only see a fraction.

This is so cool and awesome man

26:37 Man, can you imagine being pursued and cornered by one of those things?

A Pig-Tailed Macaque, A Hog Badger, and a Warty Pig walk into a bar. What? You've already heard that one? Darn!

The NC museum of natural science actually received the first ever fully intact t-rex fossil! you should definitely go see it when it’s on display

Interesting nice Jacob ty.🤟

Enough taxidermy. Loved the dinosaurs.
