Field Museum Renovates Africa Hall for 2028 Reopening

The Field Museum in Chicago has begun renovations on its Africa Hall, with a grand reopening planned for 2028. The project is designed to highlight the richness and diversity of African cultures, incorporating new research and emphasizing the continent’s complex innovations.
In keeping with its commitment to inclusive planning, the museum is engaging community members throughout the renovation process. This practice was also used in the redesign of the Native North America Hall, which reopened in 2022. By consulting with community representatives, the museum aims to ensure that a wide range of voices and perspectives are reflected in the updated hall.
The Field Museum has stated that further details will be shared as work progresses. Visitors seeking updates or information about potential closures can find more resources on the museum’s official website at www.fieldmuseum.org.
