Genghis Khan exhibition

( May 17, 2012 )

You have ambition, don't you, a sort of "first Chicago, tomorrow the world" thing going on? Perhaps the Field Museum's Genghis Khan exhibition will be just the thing, as the sprawling show attempts to answer the question "Who was Genghis Khan -- ruthless warrior or revered statesman?" But go home, be nice and don't get any ideas.

Through Sept. 3 at 1400 S Lake Shore Drive (The museum is closed on Sunday. You know why.) $15-$22 includes Genghis Khan and the museum proper; 312-922-9410 or fieldmuseum.org
