Program Details:

For every living being on this planet, death is the greatest mystery of them all. The ways that we experience it, celebrate life, and wonder about what's next are part of what makes us human — yet it's also a subject we often push aside.

Originally from the Field Museum in Chicago, Death: Life's Greatest Mystery invites you to consider your own "big questions" about death as you explore natural and cultural responses to life's inevitable conclusion. Through artifacts, specimens, interactives, and immersive media experiences, you'll discover amazing animal adaptations used for survival and learn how various cultures commemorate life.
