Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age is a special exhibition coming to The Field Museum. Visitors will step back to the time of these fascinating animals with a series of exhibits and interactive opportunities.
The highlight is Lyuba, a 42,000 year old baby woolly mammoth. Lyuba made headlines when she was discovered because she is the most complete mammoth ever discovered. You’ll learn how she and her kind lived and survived in a world populated with saber-tooth tigers and short-faced bears.
Other exhibits include the opportunity to try your hand at cave art, to touch mastodon teeth, and even feel mammoth fur.
Mammoths and Mastodons runs from March 5 through September 6, 2010. A Go Chicago Card (or a Chicago Explorer Pass) can be used for admission to the Field Museum — and let you skip the entry lines. The Exhibition has an additional charge for visitors of $22 for adults and $15 for children which can be purchased directly at the museum.
