Exhibits and Events Melting Ice / A Hot Topic – US Debut April 18th - September 1, 2008 The Field Museum in Chicago is the first American venue to host Melting Ice / A Hot Topic. We’re all very excited to bring the venue, not only to a US city, but to Chicago where Mayor Richard M. Daley has made the environment an important part of this city’s mission. The exhibit launches on Earth Day, and bridges the 6 weeks to World Environment Day, as a “call to action” for people to personally commit to living environmentally friendly lives. More.

Education Children make their pledge The Field Museum in Chicago Family PlayLab April 18 - September 6, 2008 Adults are not alone in their efforts to take action to save the environment - children are often times as effective, or even more effective, at getting their messages across. A key aspect of Planet Art is harnessing the energy of inspired young people and converting it into positive and solid action. NWM’s Planet Art Program comes to the Field Museum in Chicago where children will be able to send their environmental concerns and pledges of action to environmental leaders - directly from the museum itself!
