The Field Museum has a new exhibit that looks at the time after the non-avian dinosaurs went extinct during the K-Pg Event about 66 million years ago. How did the world recover? And, how long did it take?

Chicago-based illustrator Jay Ryan created original artwork for the Field Museum’s “After the Age of Dinosaurs” exhibition.
- The exhibition explores the post-dinosaur world, focusing on the 15-million-year period following the asteroid impact that led to the extinction of dinosaurs.
- Ryan’s screen prints, known for their playful and imaginative style, are also scientifically grounded, depicting a strange and vibrant Earth in recovery.
- The exhibition aims to fill a gap in public understanding of Earth’s history between the Age of Dinosaurs and the Ice Age.
