Home is important to people everywhere.
Homes provide shelter, privacy and protection, and create an extraordinary space for family life. Homes may be made from animal hides that move from place to place with their owners, or from stones and mortar that will stand long after their owners are gone. Like homes of every time and place, your home reflects your environment, your history and your creativity. The Field Museum, Roosevelt Road at Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605-2496.
