About The Field Museum The Field Museum resides on the ancestral homelands of the Three Fires Confederacy: The Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi. The area was also a site of trade, gathering and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes. Illinois is currently home to more than 100,000 tribal members. Our respect and gratitude to the many Native people who live here today, as well as their ancestors. The Field Museum is an educational institution concerned with the diversity and relationships in nature and among cultures. It provides collection-based research and learning for greater public understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live. Its collections, public learning programs, and research are inseparably linked to serve a diverse public of varied ages, backgrounds and knowledge.

    Does anybody know in which part of Malta this was taken please? I can’t recognise it!
  • roasted weather said:
    Probably it's not Malta, at least it looks nothing like it....
  • alto maltés said:
    Thanks trawell. Also, it seems to be the same location in this other photo, which is not listed as being in Malta. Do you think the rock to the right is the rock that features in this other photo taken in Gibraltar?
  • roasted weather said:
    Probably it is...
  • Jean-Paul Navarro said:
    That is definitely not Malta.

    Is that the same Octopus that is hanging in the "What is an Animal?" exhibit at the Field Museum today?
  • Peter D. Tillman said:
    That Octo is one creepy-looking critter. Added to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:World_Columbian_Expos... Thanks for posting these!

    I have a pre-columbian embroidary that hung in the Chicago World's Fair. It was given to my Great Grandfather by Arlon Higginbothem of Joliet Il. How would I get it appraised? It still has the original fair tags.
