Everybody could use an extra hand—but what about a tail? 🐒 This tree-climbing animal is from a diverse group of early mammals called Cimolesta. It lived 52 million years ago in present-day Wyoming. With an extra-long, prehensile tail, this critter could grip branches and move through ancient forests with ease. While this mammal has no living descendants, its fossil offers a rare look back at a world long gone. Learn more in special exhibition After the Age of Dinosaurs. ➡️ fieldmuseum.io/visit

105 years ago this May, we opened up our doors on the lakefront. Before we became the Museum you know today, the Field was originally located on the site of the World's Columbian Exposition's Palace of Fine Arts in Jackson Park (now the home of Griffin Museum of Science and Industry). We quickly outgrew the space. In 1906, Marshall Field left $8,000,000 in his will to build the Museum a new permanent home right here on Museum Campus. Construction kicked off in 1915 and took six years to complete. On May 2, 1921, we welcomed our first visitors. 100+ million visits later, and our doors are still open!
