Treat your guests to dinner, dancing, and dinosaur bones.

Choose a venue with a little history. Whether you’re throwing a black-tie celebration or planning a casual corporate outing, choose the Field Museum for an unforgettable event at a world-class Chicago venue. From the iconic Stanley Field Hall to intimate atrium and theater spaces, we have a place to suit groups of any size and occasions of every type.

Our experienced event staff will support you throughout the planning process to make your event a success. We’ve also carefully vetted a list of approved vendors who know the Field Museum inside and out. We’ll help you select one that will work within your style and budget to create a corporate event that has your brand all over it.

Gleaming white marble, vaulted ceilings, and gracious columns set the stage for a spectacular event. 

Stanley Field Hall is a premier Chicago event space, with iconic features everywhere your guests look: African elephants prepared by famed taxidermist Carl Akeley, large hanging gardens and flying pterosaurs, and our (literally) biggest attraction, Máximo the Titanosaur.

This expansive hall can accommodate a wide range of events—wedding, galas, and more. Customize your event by making use of the second floor balcony or, weather permitting, outdoor terraces and other adjoining spaces. You can also  encourage guests' curiosity with exclusive access to our ongoing or temporary exhibitions.
