Last night was a Members' Night at the Field Museum. We had quite an interesting time finding the staircase to the third floor so we could get to the Founders Council lounge. They had food and drink set up in a vice president's office. It was nice to have a place to sit down and watch the storm roll by. They had beer, wine, soft drinks, cheese, crackers, caprese skewers covered in pesto, some fruit, a few desserts and bacon-wrapped dates. We also got to talk to some of the fund-raising staff members which was nice.
This was the view looking north. You can see the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier. The windows aren't very big, though, so to get a view you'd have to stand up, walk to the window and look out.
This will do for dinner.
We visited a few places on the museum's third and fourth floors - places not usually open to the public. This is the woodshop where they make the stands for all the exhibits.
Lots of stuffed bird specimens ...
and an employee stuffing a bird.
It was pretty busy.
Our sticker that got us into the Founders Lounge and buttons I collected from various exhibits.
Looking east from the Founders Lounge/employee's office, we saw a rainbow behind the Shedd Aquarium.
