World Angklung Day at the Field Museum

Celebrate World Angklung Day 2025 at the Field Museum!

<p>Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.</p>

<p>During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the<span>&nbsp;</span><em><a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/exhibition/grainger-science-hub">Grainger&nbsp;Science Hub</a></em>. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum&rsquo;s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there&rsquo;s a world of science to explore.</p>

<p>Visit the&nbsp;<em>Science Hub</em><span>&nbsp;</span>on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.</p>


<p>Indigenous Waiwai people in southern Guyana own and manage the Kanashen Amerindian Protected Area (KAPA), a 625,000-hectare reserve. KAPA is the only Indigenous-owned and protected territory within Guyana's National Protected Areas System.<br />Come meet Phillip Suse, manager of KAPA and community collaborator with the Field Museum's Keller Science Action Center. With a team of Waiwai Rangers from the community, Phillip is responsible for regular monitoring activities to protect biodiversity and safeguard the headwaters of the Essequibo River-- the largest in Guyana.</p>
<p>Phillip will discuss the community&rsquo;s approach to conservation, the importance of collaboration between Western scientists and Indigenous peoples, and the community's participation in the Field Museum's Rapid Inventory 32, a survey of biodiversity and local ecological knowledge.</p>
<p>Visitors to this session will explore various mammal specimens from Guyana, as well as fish and plant specimens collected from the rainforests east of KAPA Indigenous lands during the Field Museum's Rapid Inventory 32.</p>
<p>Presenters include Elliot Oakley, Field Museum Environmental Social Scientist; Farah Carrasco, Field Museum Conservation Ecologist; Phillip Suse, Kanashen Amerindian Protected Area Manager.</p>

<p>The past decade has seen Native American communities experience unprecedented authority in exhibit content, collection care, and research output. Such changes are paving the way for continued relationship building.</p>
<p>This talk presents recent case studies from the Field Museum that illustrate examples of Native-museum collaboration, community-serving archaeology, and new ethical protocols. Altogether, these examples demonstrate a few small steps towards revitalizing collaborative and restorative work.</p>

<p>Imagine what it would feel like to stand next to a <em>T. rex.</em> Ponder what flowers smelled like 30 million years ago. See what inspiration you'll find and start turning your ideas into poetry with Eric Elshtain, the Field Museum's first poet in residence.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Join us for a series of weekly events that change how you see the museum—whether you’ve visited once or dozens of times. Encounter objects from our collection. Tour an exhibition. Find our poet in residence at a typewriter station to craft your own poem!</p>
<p>Eric hosts pop-ups most Thursdays from 10am–12pm, in locations across the museum. No prior knowledge of poetry needed. &nbsp;</p>

Poetry Pop-up: On the Wings of Pterosaurs

Poetry Pop-up: T-rex-ing

Discover the natural world through poetry at weekly pop-up events featuring the Field’s poet in residence.

Poetry Pop-up

A group gathers at the corner of a diorama case. One man sits a desk with a typerwriter. He looks up to a family of three standing over him. The man in the middle stands with arms around the other two individuals. Both are smiling down at the man seated at the desk. A black box with a glass front holds a rock specimen and is propped up against the leg of the desk.

Let your poems soar with our pterosaurs. Eric will be on the upper level near the perching quetzalcoatlus replica.

Meet Eric near SUE to answer "What is SUE to you?"
