After New Year's we made a week-long trip to Chicago. It was COLD. Several days the temperature never made double-digits (F, -13 C for a daily high). But we did make a trip to the Field Museum to see artifacts from the Terracotta Army discovered near Xi'an, China.

| "Sue" is the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton discovered to date. It is a focal point of the museum's main hall. |
 |
| This statue stands next to the arch at the north end of the main hall. |
 |
| The highlight of the visit was seeing the Terracotta Army exhibit. |

| One of two chariots on display. |
 |
| This display shows how the army originally looked -- painted with bright colors. |

| Among the artifacts on display were models of the workshops that made the figures. |
The archway sculpture you have pictured is Science. It's one of four at each of the corners of the main hall: https://www.fieldmuseum.org/about/history/architecture
