The Field Museum/自然历史博物馆

Time: July 19, 2005
Place: Museum Campus, Chicago, IL

The Field Museum is also located on Chicago's Museum Campus that includes the John G. Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium. These three institutions are regarded as among the finest of their kind in the world and together attract more visits annually than any comparable site in Chicago. But I was too tired that day to focus on those fine exhibits. So only take a glance.

Shedd Aquarium is the largest indoor aquarium in the world. The aquarium is located on Chicago's Museum Campus, an area on the shore of Lake Michigan that is also home to Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum of Natural History./世界最大室内水族馆.

First, let's see the exterior of Shedd./外观

Dolphin presentation is a have-to-see event for every aquarium./海豚表演

Actually, it's not as spectacular as expected. No novel or very difficult program. Ad time: Wanna watch a more fantastic show? Click here.

Penguins/企鹅

In my opinion, they are the most cute animals in Shedd. But most pictures were blured by drops on the glass surrounding these elves...

OK, though I can't name most of them accurately, let's take a look at these beautiful creatures.
