	Field Museum of Natural History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was named the Columbian Museum of Chicago on September 16, 1893 but renamed after Marshall Field, a major donor, in 1905.
		The museum was originally housed in the structure now occupied by the Museum of Science and Industry but the current location is a building that opened in 1921.
		The Museum's newest permanent exhibit, "Evolving Planet" (formerly "Life Over Time"), utilizes the museum's extensive fossil collection, in order to present both the history and the evolution of life on earth, over a span of 4 billion years, from the first organism to present-day life.
