Fair warning: You only have three weeks left to catch this once-in-a-lifetime touring exhibit, which brings the collections of 21 museums to the Field. “The Greeks” traces the development of a pivotal civilization with more than 500 artifacts, many of which never have traveled outside of their home country. It’s a great way to show junior high and high school students how an ancient world affected modern-day institutions, from government to arts to sports. Through April 10 at the Field Museum, 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive. $29, $20 for kids 3-11 (includes general museum admission). www.fieldmuseum.org Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
