More fossils are coming to Chicago’s popular Field Museum — but there a bit different than the ones guests may expect.
Starting Friday, the Pokémon Fossil Museum Special Exhibition will make is North American debut at the Field, according to the museum. The exhibit, the museum said, will compare fossil Pokémon like Tyrantrum and Archeops with real ancient life forms and dinosaurs already on display, including SUE the T.rex
“For 30 years, the Pokémon brand has been adored by fans around the world, stoking fascination and curiosity for the franchise’s many iconic Pokémon, their lore, and the unique world they inhabit – much in the same way the Field Museum encourages wonder and learning for its visitors,” Jaap Hoogstraten, head of exhibitions at the museum said in a release. “Aligned with the Field Museum’s mission to connect us to the natural world, the Pokémon Fossil Museum will inspire visitors to make new discoveries about some of their favorite Pokémon while offering a pathway to science, especially budding paleontologists.”
The exhibit, designed by Japan’s National Museum of Nature and Science, the Pokemon Company group and the Field Museum, “will feature “Professors” from the Pokémon world, their adorable helper “Excavator Pikachu,” and Field Museum scientists to take a close look at the fossils from both worlds, organizers said.
The opening of the exhibit at the Field marks the first time it will travel outside of Japan.
Tickets for the highly anticipated exhibit went on sale earlier this year, with thousands of people already waiting in online queues. A post on the Field Museum’s website said there was a “high level” of interest in the exhibit, and that tickets were subject to availability.
Tickets to the exhibit, the museum said were not included in general admission and must be purchased separately. Tickets will also be timed, the museum said, with guests able to join the exhibition queue every 15 minutes.
The special exhibit will remain at the Field Museum through April 2027, according to organizers.
