The Field Museum's 10 Hidden Gems
Most visitors to Chicago's Field Museum squeeze in only a fraction of the 480,000 artifacts on display. Here are 10 don't-miss finds.
Bushman's hand
Place your tiny hand in the massive bronze-cast hand of Bushman, the 550-pound lowland gorilla who lived at the Lincoln Park Zoo from 1930 to 1951. Bushman's dung-hurling antics, shows of strength (stretching car tires like rubber bands) and virility (he fathered the nation's first successful gorilla captive breeding program) made him a Chicago celebrity.
