DEAR FRIENDS,

The Field Museum is essential to Chicago’s story. From our founding as part of the World’s Columbian

Exposition of 1893, we have become a world-class research and public learning institution. Similarly,

our collection is an iconic scientific resource, now an astonishing 24.5 million biological specimens

and anthropological artifacts.

Twenty-first century frontiers have emerged in the sciences to entice and challenge our scholars. And

museum audiences—in Chicago and around the world—bring fresh ideas about learning experiences

and an appetite for technologies unforeseen just five years ago.

To again realize the potential of your Museum, we have embarked on a new expedition—to define our

contributions in this new century and earn again our iconic status. We are a community of scientists

and educators whose work is made possible by friends and donors like you. As you will read in this

report, with your help, we collect, research, act, teach, and share.

For all you have done to bring The Field Museum to its 120th successful year, we are profoundly

grateful. And to build the institution’s bright future, we invite your ideas, leadership, and support.

Warm regards,

Introduction 1

Collections, research, and action are the three branches of our

scientific work. Collections are the storehouse of information that fuels

research about nature and culture. Research answers questions about

Earth’s past and present and charts the complexity of species and

societies. Action brings research to life by marshaling scientific data

to address problems that affect the planet and its people today. Taken

together, our science informs all programs and exhibitions that make

up our public education efforts.

SCIENCE

Collections. Some visitors wonder why The Field Museum continues to collect. The answer

is that the Museum collects in order to build an encyclopedic resource for the world scientific community

as they explore the mysteries of life on the planet.

“Scientists from around the world seek out our collections for their breadth,” explains Bill Stanley,

director of the Collections Center and Negaunee collection manager of mammals. Last year, 700 scientists

conducted research in the collections, and the Museum shipped 57,000 specimens across the globe for

study. Scientists in Chicago and abroad used the collections to investigate such topics as the DNA of bird

viruses, anti-cancer properties of plants, and the

dynamics of pre-historic extinction events.

The collections are the record of life on Earth.

The Museum preserves this record through careful

stewardship and conservation, from desalinating

Incan ceramics to installing state-of-the-art storage

for the insects collection. And the staff ensures

the value of this record by making it accessible to

scientists and educators worldwide either in person

or, increasingly, online.

The collections are also the heart of the exhibition halls.

When you explore the galleries, you experience these

collections and learn about their scientific significance.

The exhibits make the collections come to life for you.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT TO DONORS

A nearly completed $2.7 million project

funded by the National Science Foundation

creates a collaborative invertebrate research

and training center and enhances collection

facilities for the Museum’s noteworthy

collections of invertebrate animals. As part

of this award to Curator Rüdiger Bieler and

Associate Curator Margaret Thayer, the

pinned insects (4.5 million specimens) were

consolidated into a compact storage facility.

The addition of new space and cabinets for

dry mollusks and other marine invertebrates

doubled the collection capacity, making

the specimens readily accessible for the

first time in years and finally allowing

the incorporation of several important

accessions. These changes greatly increase

the efficiency of research projects involving

the Museum’s insect and invertebrate

scientists, their students, post-docs, and

internal and external collaborators.

COIN SUGGESTS ThE ChINESE TRADED IN AFRICA BEFORE ThE ARRIvAL OF EUROPEANS

An expedition led by Curator of

Anthropology Chapurukha (Chap)

Kusimba and colleague Dr. Sloan R.

Williams unearthed a 600-year-old

Chinese coin on Manda Island in

Kenya. It may confirm direct trade

between China and East Africa decades

before European explorers set sail. The

coin was issued by Emperor Yongle (r.

1403–25 AD). The square hole in the center

permitted wearers to string it on a belt. The

Emperor’s name is written on the coin, making

it easy to date. Dr. Kusimba explains the coin

introduces new questions about the relationship

between China and Indian Ocean nations.

ExPEDITION YIELDS PLANTS ThAT MAY IDENTIFY SIGNS OF GLOBAL WARMING

Adjunct Curator and McCarter Collections Manager

Matt von Konrat led an international team of scientists

on an expedition to New Caledonia, an island in the

South Pacific and one of 35 biodiversity hotspots in

the world. Dr. von Konrat and the team collected 5,000

early land plants (bryophytes), ferns, and lichenized

fungi. An expedition of this scale in New Caledonia is

unprecedented. The trip generated dozens of new genus

and species records for the island and several new species,

including a tree fern. Due to their small size, bryophytes

and lichens respond rapidly to environmental and

ecological change. Scientists use them to identify early

signs of global warming and past climate change.

NEW SPECIES OF BIRD DESCRIBED

Ben Winger and Staff Scientist Jason Weckstein described a new

species of bird, the Sira Barbet (Capito fitzpatricki). Shortly after

graduating from Cornell University in 2008, Mr. Winger and three

undergraduate colleagues discovered the bird, a rare occurrence,

in the Andes. Mr. Winger is now a PhD candidate in the Committee

on Evolutionary Biology, a joint graduate program involving The

Field Museum and the University of Chicago. His dissertation

research focuses on bird diversification in the Andes. Dr. Weckstein

gathered and analyzed DNA sequence data documenting the genetic

distinctiveness of the barbet in the Pritzker Laboratory of Molecular

Systematics and Evolution.

An 80-pound leopard attacked Chief Taxidermist Carl Akeley while he was on expedition in Somaliland in 1896. Realizing he was battling for his life, Akeley managed to strangle the animal with his bare hands. The incident resulted in one of the most famous photos in Field Museum history: Akeley posing with the dead leopard with his hands and arms bandaged.FACTS

Most theropod dinosaurs were carnivores like T. rex, but some

evolved into gigantic herbivores perhaps rivaling T. rex in size.

Scientists theorize that vertebrate herbivores evolve larger bodies

to accommodate bigger digestive tracts that maximize nutrition

uptake from low-calorie plant fodder, but this has rarely been tested.

Associate Curator of Paleontology Dr. Peter Makovicky and colleague

Dr. Lindsay Zanno examined body size evolution in herbivorous

theropods. They found that whereas some evolved larger sizes, others

showed evolutionary decreases in size. Fluctuating environmental

conditions and competition with other herbivores likely played more

significant roles in size evolution than selection for larger guts.

BIGGER WAS BETTER FOR PLANT-EATING DINOSAURS

Sapeornis is one of the earliest and most primitive birds in the fossil record. It was a herbivore, a trait it likely inherited from its theropod ancestors.

Herbivorous theropods ranged from chicken-sized and turkey-sized animals, like Beipaosaurus (right), to giants rivaling T. rex in size.

Research. Visitors new to The Field Museum may be surprised to learn the Museum conducts

research. Research gives purpose to the collections these visitors see and unlocks the information they contain.

The scientific staff works in the social sciences (anthropology), life sciences (botany and zoology), and earth sciences

(paleontology and meteoritics). In 2012, foundations and federal agencies awarded the Museum $2.7 million in new

research grants. With this support, the scientific staff CT-scanned mummies to understand the burial habits of

ancient Egyptians, used DNA barcoding to understand the evolutionary relationships of fungi, and described a new

species of small dinosaur from Argentina. Their work resulted in 270 articles and books, enriching the world’s

foundation of scientific knowledge. Their investigations brought them to 30 countries, from as near as

Mexico and Peru to as distant as China and Kenya.

Entwined with the Museum’s research is a commitment to training the next generation

of scientists. The Museum partners with major universities, including Northwestern

University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Graduate

students from these institutions work side by side with the Museum’s scientists on

their dissertations and use the collections as a primary resource for their research.

In 2012, the scientific staff hosted 50 resident graduate students and 24

postdoctoral researchers. They also mentored young scientists in dozens

of countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific.

A commitment to interdisciplinary research increasingly will define the

Museum’s scientific work. “Moving forward, we will not only continue

our collections-based research programs,” explains Dr. Olivier Rieppel,

director of the Integrative Research Center and Rowe family curator

of evolutionary biology, “but also encourage new, integrative, and

collaborative initiatives.”

JORDAN’S RULE DOES APPLY TO OCTOPUSES

Jordan’s Rule states that water temperatures

affect countable traits in fishes. The

number of spines in the dorsal fin of two

fishes hatched from eggs in different water

temperatures will vary. During an expedition

to the East Pacific Rise, Associate Curator of Invertebrates Janet Voight

collected specimens that allowed her to test if Jordan’s Rule applies

to octopuses. Although sucker counts were considered to be species

specific, Field Museum specimens of the same species Dr. Voight

collected at 9 degrees north differed from those collected at 13 degrees

north, suggesting Jordan’s Rule may apply to many animals.

“T. REx OF ThE SEA” UNEARThED

Scientists described a new species of ichthyosaur discovered

in 1998 in Nevada by Collections Manager Jim Holstein. The

244-million-year-old fossil, Thalattoarchon saurophagis

(lizard-eating sovereign of the sea), was excavated in 2010 and

brought to the Museum for study. Dubbed the T. rex of the sea,

this 28-foot-long predator roamed the Triassic seas 8 million

years after Earth’s most severe mass extinction. The rise of this

top predator documents the rapid recovery of a complex ecosystem.

Dr. Olivier Rieppel believes additional research will help us

understand Earth’s evolutionary dynamics and provide insights

on how to manage the biodiversity crisis humans are creating today.

PRESERvATION OF ThE FIRST GREAT WALL OF ChINA ENCOURAGED

Most people are aware of the Great Wall of China. Fewer people are

familiar with the earlier great walls of China. Curator of East Asian

Anthropology Dr. Gary Feinman and Adjunct Curator of Anthropology

Linda Nicholas mapped 10 kilometers of China’s first great wall, the

Great Wall of the Qi state. This wall crossed what is now Shandong

Province, separating the Qi state from its enemies to the south. The

mapping took place during the seventeenth season of collaboration

with colleagues at Shandong University. The project has covered 2,000

square kilometers, the largest contiguous area systematically surveyed

by archaeologists in East Asia. By mapping the wall and reporting its

condition and location to local government officials, the team aims

to encourage its preservation and conservation.

RESEARCh INTERNShIP PREPARES STUDENT FOR CAREER IN BIOLOGY

Lynika Strozier’s educational journey included many challenges: a one-parent home, a learning disability,

and educational setbacks. In 2009, as an undergraduate at Dominican University, Ms. Strozier began interning

with the Museum’s botany team under Dr. Matt von Konrat. With his tutelage over the past four years, she

advanced from databasing collections to performing molecular research. Ms. Strozier says the Museum

provided her with solid training and mentors. Sushma Reddy, former post-doctoral researcher, advised

her on building her credentials for graduate school. This spring, Ms. Stozier gained admission to several

universities to pursue a master’s degree in biology. She will accept an offer soon.

FORENSIC RECONSTRUCTIONS BRING MUMMIES TO LIFE

Forensic facial reconstructions help anthropologists characterize

the individuals of past societies. A. Watson Armour III Curator of

Biological Anthropology Robert Martin commissioned famed forensic

sculptor Elisabeth Daynès to create facial reconstructions of two

Egyptian mummies in the exhibition Images of the Afterlife. Ms. Daynès

rendered the busts from resin copies of the skulls, which a 3D copier

generated using digital images taken in 2011. These digital images

were featured in the exhibition Opening the Vaults: Mummies (see page

19). During the original project, Regenstein Conservator for Pacific

Anthropology J. P. Brown and Dr. Martin used medical CT scanners to

look inside mummy bundles in the collections. The scanners permitted

them to study the bodies without removing the original wrappings.

Using muscle- and skin-layering techniques, Ms. Daynès revealed a curly

haired woman in her forties and a teenage boy as they appeared in life.

The floor tiles in Stanley Field Hall contain fossils. Made of limestone quarried in Carthage, Missouri, they were part of a seabed 325 million years ago.FACTS

Rapid inventories, expert surveys of an area’s

importance for conservation, put biological

and cultural science directly into the hands of

decision makers. Since the Museum completed

its first inventory in 1999, the governments of

Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia have used them to

protect more than 23 million acres of Earth’s

most diverse forests. In 2012, the Peruvian

government established four new conservation

areas in the Amazon based on the Museum’s

previous inventories (2.4 million acres or about

half the size of New Jersey): one national park

(Güeppí-Sekime National Park), two communal

reserves (Airo Pai and Huimeki), and one

regional conservation area (Maijuna). Peru now

protects approximately 17 percent of its land

area, an increase of approximately 12 percent

in the last 15 years.

Generous support for this project was provided by

Exelon Corporation, The Boeing Company, and the

Hamill Family Foundation.

In 2007, The Field Museum conducted a rapid inventory of the Güeppí region in Northern Peru. In 2012, Peru declared the area a new national park encompassing three vast expanses of diverse lowland forests spanning 1.5 million acres.

Action. Some visitors wonder how the Museum’s research affects their lives. The Museum

puts its scientific expertise and the powerhouse of information in the collections to work to ensure

the future of the planet.

The Museum’s action efforts focus on addressing pressing issues in conservation and cultural

understanding. Through key partnerships, in the past year the Museum provided the information

that equipped governments in the lush Andes-Amazon region to protect vast expanses of forests

and prepared Cordillera Azul National Park for the carbon market. The Museum also worked with

indigenous communities in northern Peru to develop quality of life plans and secure

government protection of their lands.

In the Chicago region, the Museum leads collaborations to bring people

and nature together, notably in initiatives like Chicago Wilderness and

the 220-square-mile Millennium Reserve. These local partnerships

harness the energy of citizen-scientists and connect young people

with nature. In 2012, the Museum engaged 3,500 students in the

restoration of 18 natural areas; and its stewardship program for

children, Mighty Acorns, was recognized by both the Illinois

Department of Natural Resources and the US Fish and Wildlife

Service as a top environmental program for urban youth.

Foundations and federal agencies awarded the Museum $6.7

million in new grants to support this work in 2012. “Turning

science into action will be a growing part of our science programs

in the coming years,” says Dr. Corine Vriesendorp, director of

the Science Action Center and senior conservation ecologist.

For more information about the Museum’s conservation and

quality-of-life accomplishments, see ecco.fieldmuseum.org.

Shark Fin Soup in the United States

ShARk FIN SOUP RESEARCh LEADS TO ThE PROTECTION OF ThREATENED SPECIES

A. Watson Armour III Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory Kevin Feldheim and collaborators at Stony Brook University

conducted the first nationwide study of the Chinese delicacy shark fin soup. With numerous shark species facing

extirpation, the study sought to identify the species used in the soup, which is sold in restaurants in the United States.

A major obstacle to this research had been the deterioration of DNA due to preparation and cooking. At the Pritzker

Laboratory, Dr. Feldheim and the team modified existing DNA-barcoding techniques to identify deteriorated DNA

fragments. They found threatened species are prevalent in the soup sold in the United States. The Pew Environment

Group, which funded the research, is using the data to advocate against these practices. In April 2013, the New York

State Senate voted to ban the possession, sale, trade, and distribution of shark fins.

NATIONAL FOREST IN PERU CERTIFIED TO RECEIvE CARBON CREDITS

With its conservation and government partners in Peru, the Museum

has been a leader in protecting Cordillera Azul National Park from

deforestation. The work resulted in the reduction of 6.4 million tons

of carbon dioxide emissions between 2008 and 2012, the equivalent to

removing all vehicles registered in Chicago from the roads for one year.

In 2012, the team completed a project to earn REDD+ certification

for these lands. REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation

and Forest Degradation plus biodiversity and social benefits) creates

financial value for the carbon stored in forests. The project was

certified in early 2013.

Generous support for this project was provided by Exelon Corporation,

The Boeing Company, The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation,

the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and the US Agency for

International Development.Cordillera Azul National Park stores more than 200 million tons of carbon in its vast forests.

NEW ENDOWMENT SUSTAINS SCIENCE ACTION

To ensure the Museum always translates science into immediate action

for conservation and cultural understanding, the institution embarked

on the ECCo Major Gifts Initiative in 2011 and 2012. Under the

leadership of Trustee Constance (Connie) Keller, the initiative raised

$16.2 million in gifts and pledges by December 2012. Exceptional

support came from Connie and Dennis Keller, Mr. and Mrs. James S.

Frank, Mr. and Mrs. Michael L. Keiser, Mr. and Mrs. Barry L. MacLean,

The Boeing Company, Bobolink Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon

Foundation, and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

GUIDEBOOk TO hELP LOCAL NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGERS RESPOND TO CLIMATE ChANGES

The climate is changing rapidly in Chicago. Since 1980, the temperature in winter has

increased 4°F. Since 1900, the annual rate of heavy rainfall has doubled. Rapid changes

in climate threaten natural resources. For Chicago to manage its resources in an effective,

cost-efficient way, it must respond to these changes. To help Chicago’s policy makers and

natural resource managers adopt best practices, the Museum (with The Nature Conservancy

and the University of Notre Dame) in collaboration with the City developed the Climate

Considerations guidebook. This guidebook offers a framework for policy makers and

landscape managers to think about the “climate question,” so they can create landscapes

that are resilient to a broad spectrum of environmental conditions and provide key services

to people while making the best use of limited resources.

Education. Programs move the learning experience in a museum to one of hands-on

engagement with the collections and the experts who study them. The Museum invests its expertise

in the educational needs of the community, especially local school children.

Since 1912, the Museum has brought science into local classrooms. Its student programs strive to

develop children’s critical thinking skills thus preparing them for the future. Its teacher programs build

educators’ capacity to carry forth this mission. In 2012, the Museum engaged in a major realignment

of its education programming. “Focusing on Pre-K to grade 12 and family audiences, we have created

initiatives that help children explore science and develop critical thinking skills,” explains Director of

Education Beth Crownover. Efforts over the next five years will concentrate on three major educational

needs in the Chicago community: building children’s awareness of science, enhancing science in the

classroom, and engaging teens in science.

The Museum employs an inquiry-based approach to learning rooted in the collections to develop an

interest in science with target audiences. This approach provides the Museum with an opportunity to

engage young learners in a dialogue about discovery in which they ask questions, make observations,

and draw conclusions. This is similar to the way our scientists engage in their work.

The programs comprise three audience-focused

teams. The Public Programs team builds young

children’s awareness of science via experiences that

begin with the Crown Family PlayLab. The School

Partnerships and Programs team enhances science in

the classroom through intentional partnerships and

teacher professional development using the N. W. Harris

Learning Collection as its base. The Digital Learning team

engages teens in science through digital programs in the

Grainger Digital Media Studio.

Education programs and exhibitions translate our

scientific work into relevant experiences for the

public to understand Earth and the cultures that

occupy it. Our science is the root of these programs.

Research and action become the stories we tell, and

collections make these experiences tangible.

classrooms. Each kit contains a collection

of real specimens, models, or artifacts

accompanied by an educator guide that

provides lessons aligned with curricula taught

in Chicago’s schools. In 2013, the Harris

AWARD-WINNING SChOOL PARTNERShIP IMPROvES SCIENCE EDUCATION IN ThE ChICAGO PUBLIC SChOOLS

A stumbling block to science education efforts is the low number of teachers who have

strong science backgrounds. The Museum addresses this deficit through programs designed

to improve teachers’ knowledge of science and classroom skills. Early Elementary Science

Partnership (E2SP), the Museum’s premier professional development program, takes this

work one step further and focuses solely on K–3 Chicago Public School (CPS) teachers. The

E2SP pilot worked with 143 teachers and 6,930 students from 2010 to 2013 and merged CPS’s

science curriculum with education resources at local museums. Participating teachers learned

to use these resources to progressively build children’s understanding of science. In 2012, E2SP

won the prestigious EdCom Award from the American Alliance of Museums for excellence in

educational programming.

The Early Elementary Science Partnership pilot was generously supported by the Searle Funds at The Chicago

Community Trust, Motorola Solutions Foundation, and Polk Bros. Foundation.

TEEN PROGRAMS INCREASE WITh OPENING OF GRAINGER DIGITAL MEDIA STUDIO

A critical barrier to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)

education at higher grade levels is the negative attitude many teens

associate with these topics. Although young adults spend large

quantities of time interacting with digital media, they fail to develop the

skills necessary to critically access and interpret the information they

encounter. To address this issue, the Museum opened the Grainger Digital

Media Studio. Supported by The Grainger Foundation, the Grainger

Studio is the Museum’s first digital classroom. It offers programs that

bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and digital media creation

to engage teens in science.

Exhibitions. The Museum teaches through objects. When several senses

are involved, it is easier to learn about complex ideas. Through the experience of seeing

and discussing objects with family and friends, visitors interpret the objects and apply

them to abstract concepts.

More than 1.2 million people each year visit the Museum to experience its exhibitions. Special

exhibitions introduce a diverse range of topics to audiences in addition to the core concepts

shared by permanent exhibitions. In 2012, the Museum presented ten special exhibitions.

Topics included the exploitation of natural resources in Blood/Stones: Burmese Rubies,

the history of kingship in Maharaja: The Splendor of India’s Royal Courts, and the concept

of statesmanship in Genghis Khan.

The year also saw a major shift in the vision for special exhibitions. The Museum will present

more exhibitions created from its collections and about its research. Two new multi-year

exhibition series will carry forth this concept: Opening the Vaults and Straight from The Field.

Opening the Vaults focuses on rarely seen objects in the collections. The overwhelming

popularity of Opening the Vaults: Mummies inspired the series. Presenting twenty

Egyptian and South American mummies, many of which had not been seen

publicly in decades, the exhibition drew record numbers of visitors.

Straight from The Field uses the collections to engage visitors in the

lives of scientists and their research. This concept shaped Fashion

and The Field Museum Collection: Maria Pinto. The exhibition

explores how historical objects continue to influence the present.

Research on the Museum’s extensive

mummy collection—CT scanning, isotopic

testing, and DNA analysis—reveals much

about the health and beliefs of individuals

who lived thousands of years ago. Opening

the Vaults: Mummies showcased these

findings and brought to the public twenty

mummies from Egypt and Peru. Many

had not been seen since 1893, when they

were exhibited at the World’s Columbian

Exposition. Presented in their original

nineteenth-century display cases, the

mummies rested alongside detailed

CT scans and interactives that exposed

methods of mummification, signs of

injuries and illnesses, and jewelry.

Mummies experienced the highest

per-day attendance of any exhibition

since Tutankhamun and the Golden Age

of the Pharaohs in 2006.

Opening the Vaults: Mummies was created

by The Field Museum.

SCIENTIST BECOMES ThE SUBJECT


Several objects in the collection, including this Chinese actor’s headdress, inspired the “Alaka” ensemble (left), named after Curator Alaka Wali. This headdress appeared in the Beijing Opera’s performance of “Tower of the Yellow Crane” in the early twentieth century.

Future exhibitions like Fashion and The Field Museum

Collection: Maria Pinto will introduce the public to

the Museum’s scientists. Curator of North American

Anthropology Alaka Wali collaborated with fashion

designer Maria Pinto—a favorite of First Lady

Michelle Obama—to explore the power of historical

objects to inform contemporary art and design.

Accompanying Dr. Wali into the anthropology

collections, Ms. Pinto chose twenty-five garments

and adornments, including an Inuit raincoat made of

seal intestines. Inspired by these artifacts, she designed

a couture clothing collection and displayed seven pieces

in the exhibition.

This exhibition is organized by The Field Museum and

Maria Pinto. Major Sponsor: Sara Lee Foundation

RENOvATED Ronald and ChRistina Gidwitz hall of BiRds AMONG ThE BEST IN ThE WORLD

The Museum embarked on a major

conservation and technological upgrade

of its iconic Hall of Birds, long considered

one of the most outstanding displays of

birds in the world. The new hall celebrates

old and new. The renovations honor the

historical significance of the exhibit cases

by leaving intact the original arrangements;

yet, they are integrated with the latest

technology to relay research in a modern,

immersive manner. Interactive kiosks and

huge atmospheric animations enhance the

visitor experience. Exhibition preparators

cleaned and repaired 1,100 specimens. The

renovation will be a model for enhancing

other iconic halls, including Mammals of

Asia and Plants of the World.

The Field Museum acknowledges the generous

support from Ronald and Christina Gidwitz and

The Grainger Digital Initiative.


An iPad kiosk introduces new research and interactive features to accompany the display “five orders of ostriches and relatives.”

The Hyacinth Macaw, native to Central Brazil, was in high demand in the pet trade. It is highly endangered as a result. This specimen is on view in the Gidwitz Hall of Birds. © The Field Museum, Z94584_17Bd, John Weinstein

SEARLE LOUNGE RENOvATION BECOMES MODEL FOR PERMANENT ExhIBITION ENhANCEMENTS

Renovated and modernized in 2012, the Searle Family Lounge will

serve as a new model for enhancements to permanent exhibitions:

classic design aesthetic paired with interactive features and digital

components. Cherry-stained wooden exhibition cases are inspired

by the Museum’s original early twentieth-century cases. Digital

components, including touchscreens, convey content in a manner

appealing to young, digital-age, visitors. Information, carefully

selected by Field Museum scientists, is uploaded to these tools.

The technology permits visitors to enhance their experiences in

immersive ways. The renovation was made possible by Michael,

Nydia, and Mrs. William L. Searle, whose family contributions to

the Museum have spanned three generations.

An Egyptian Fourth-Dynasty chapel—a remnant of a past exhibition dating to the early twentieth century—is hidden in the walls of the Museum’s ground floor.

FACTSFIELD

ENhANCEMENT TO INCOMING ExhIBITION INCREASES vISITOR ATTENDANCE

Genghis Khan demonstrated how the Museum’s exhibitions

team and curators redesign special shows organized by

outside entities to increase visitor engagement. The Museum

redeveloped Genghis Khan’s text-heavy graphic panels

and presented a hierarchy of information. Curators,

incorporating the theme of world empires, placed

the Mongol Empire in broad historical context. The

exhibition saw a 163 percent increase in visitors

compared to the typical special exhibition. The

work was made possible because the Museum

possesses an in-house exhibition production

center, a rarity among institutions. It is one

of the largest in the country.

Genghis Khan is produced by Imagine Exhibitions Inc.

Claudia Winkler fondly recalls visiting the McDonald’s Fossil Prep

Lab in 1997 with her niece and nephew to watch preparators clean

SUE’s bones for public display. She immediately was drawn to the

incredible fossil and decided, “when I retire, I am going to be a

SUE docent.” In July 2010, she did just that. Today, Claudia can be

spotted Wednesday afternoons engaging Museum guests with SUE.

After one year as a docent, she increased her annual giving by

joining The Founders’ Council. “My love of SUE and my desire to

help scientific research have made me feel so much more a part

of the Museum now.” Her support didn’t stop there. Last year, she

made a provision for the Museum in her living trust: “You have to

decide what has become most important to you and what your

legacy is going to be.”

annual fund cont’d

In 2012, The Field Museum proudly welcomed Dr. Ben Marks

to its scientific staff. He succeeded Dr. Dave Willard, who retired

as collections manager of the division of birds and oversaw

500,000 specimens. Ben’s appointment was made possible by

Trustee Bill Gantz, who established an endowment to provide

for the care and continued expansion of the birds collection.

Once a volunteer with the birds group, Ben received his

doctorate at Louisiana State University and, more recently,

managed zoological collections at Texas A&M University. He

brings with him expertise in the evolution and geographic

distribution of bird species.

Bill Gantz and three of his grandsons—Dylan McLamore, Ian Burns,

and Jerome Gantz—volunteered on a Field Museum fossil dig in Wyoming

in July 2012.

This past holiday season, Connie and Mark Crane made a touching

gesture to The Field Museum. They encouraged their children to

make contributions to the Museum in lieu of purchasing gifts for

the family. Connie explains: “It’s a big world and a big society, and

we owe our communities a lot.”

Connie and Mark’s relationship with the Museum spans decades

and extends to many aspects of the institution. They have been

members of The Founders’ Council since 1985, and Connie has

been a member of the Women’s Board since 1981. They have

made significant gifts in support of anthropology and were

members of the Anthropology Alliance Steering Committee for

many years. Connie also has dedicated more than 25 years as a

volunteer with the anthropology group.

Trustee Bob Loveman has been an advocate, friend, and champion

of The Field Museum for decades. Serving as Steering Committee

Chair of The Founders’ Council for the last seven years, he has

opened his home to share the latest scientific research with familiar

faces along with new friends interested in making an impact at the

Museum. His dedication to the Trustees’ Annual Fund played a

crucial role in achieving 100 percent participation in 2012. Bob and

his wife, Gail, care deeply for Earth and its people, as evidenced by

their financial contributions and their roles with the volunteer fire

department in Boulder, Colorado.

Wallace III

At age 16, William Kellogg began volunteering at The Field

Museum, where he learned the art of taxidermy. He describes

the Museum as a center for learning about the past and

understanding the future that stimulates intellectual development

in both the young and the old. This belief led to his support

(through General Packaging Products) of the e-book Art & Science

of Birds (forthcoming) by Artist-in-Residence Peggy Macnamara

with curators Drs. Shannon Hackett and John Bates. Art & Science

of Birds explores the scientific and artistic perspectives on birds

through Ms. Macnamara’s work. For more information, visit

Trustee Adnaan Hamid grew up visiting The Field Museum.

He became reacquainted with the institution once he had

children of his own. He is grateful to share his support of the

Museum with his children to teach them “it is a part of what

makes society better. You can actually go in and see the effect

your gift has and watch how science is employed throughout

the Museum’s work.”

Sharing a passion for education, Adnaan and his wife, Elissa

Efroymson, funded educational programming for Maharaja:

The Splendor of India’s Royal Courts through the Efroymson

Family Fund. In these programs, India came to life for others.

Children learned about the country through interactive play

and art projects in the Crown Family PlayLab. And 6,400

visitors enjoyed spectacular dance, musical, and storytelling

performances by the Kalapriya Center for Indian Performing Arts.

The Field Museum mourns the loss of Hugo Melvoin, trustee

and dedicated member of The Field Museum’s family. Growing

up in Chicago, Hugo was a lifelong fan of the Museum. He joined

the Board of Trustees in 1971 and distinguished himself in

numerous subjects, including the principles of collections care.

His efforts reflected his admiration for the Museum’s scientists,

“whose passions lead them to devote a lifetime of study to the

flora, fauna, geology, and diversity of cultures that make up

this planet.” His legacy is interwoven throughout the Museum’s

policies and practices.

ThANk YOU, JOhNThe Field Museum gratefully acknowledges John W. McCarter Jr. for his sixteen-year service as the institution’s president and CEO. His tenure will be remembered as an era of substantial accomplishments. He undertook ambitious capital projects to advance the Museum’s scientific mission and increase its international profile. To enable this work, he led campaigns that raised $500 million.

John encouraged the expansion of the traveling and special exhibition programs with blockbusters, such as Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. No one will forget the acquisition of SUE, now the most famous dinosaur in the world. Replicas have traveled internationally since 2000 and attracted large audiences across the world, from Japan to Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Spain. The Museum now greets 27 million travelers each year at O’Hare International Airport through the addition of The Field Museum Store in terminals one and three and a towering cast of Brachiosaurus.

John celebrated research and collections. With scientists collecting in 30 countries each year, storage onsite became scarce. He championed the Collections Resource Center, which added 186,000 square feet of new storage space and laboratories. John also passionately supported the Museum’s scientific commitment to environmental conservation. During his tenure, the Museum conducted 25 rapid inventories, which document biodiversity and record the strengths and aspirations of local villagers. These inventories have motivated governments around the world to set aside 33 million acres of forests.

In 2012, the Board of Trustees led a special effort to endow research and collections care at The Field Museum. The McCarter Fund for Science will ensure the legacy of achievement for which The Field Museum and John are renowned.
