My Day at the Museum The Field Museum is not the way I remember as a teenager in High School. The Tour Guides were good two out of three guided exhibits within their area of expertise. The other one did it out of love of the area she guided. Over all the description of the exhibits was good. Sandy was the first one to guide me‚ I arrived extra early. My intention was to arrive thirty minimizes early to get acquainted with the information area and to give them a chance to make the necessary arrangements
