  3. Earth Ball celebrates new Field exhibit

    The Women's Board of the Field Museum hosted its annual black-tie fundraiser, this year themed Earth: Our Big Beautiful Ball, with a reception, seated dinner and dancing to the City Lights Orchestra under massive glowing orbs representing the Earth. The room reflected the conservation theme of the evening with a 4-foot tree sprouting from the center of each table with a miniature rotating globe at the base lit by candlelight. It was a magical night to celebrate the opening of the museum's new permanent exhibit, "Abbott Hall of Conservation Restoring Earth."
