The Field Museum's Women's Board Gala

The Chicago institution held its annual gala on October 25. With a "Caribbean Rhythms" theme inspired by a current exhibition, the gala featured tropical-inspired decor from HMR Designs. Rags of bright, mismatched fabrics, spinning in wheels, hung from the ceiling of the massive building. The event also offered music from a steel-drum band and rum-based cocktails from Blue Plate.Â
