The
earth sustains us, protects us, and makes life possible; but it also
humbles us with its dramatic power. Created by The Field Museum, Nature Unleashed: Inside Natural Disasters
explores natural disasters through stunning displays, state-of-the-art
animations, poignant, large-scale images, and cultural artifacts that
reveal the dynamic relationship we have with the Earth.


Visitors
are in for a memorable and powerful experience. They can witness what
it’s like to stand inside a roaring tornado; trigger an underwater
earthquake and simulate a tsunami; create a virtual volcano; touch and
examine real rock and lava specimens that tell of past geologic events;
discover how people adapt to living at risk; and be inspired by the
resiliency of disaster survivors.
