Since its founding in 1882, McGill University’s Redpath Museum has stood as a storied gem of natural history. With its Greek Revival architecture and grand Beaux Arts gallery feeling right out of an adventure film, this museum hosts a vast collection of nearly three million artifacts, inviting visitors to explore worlds both ancient and modern.
Highlights include a formidable Gorgosaurus skeleton, Ancient Egyptian mummies, a cast of the Rosetta Stone, and a majestic minke whale skeleton. Serving as both a teaching and research hub, the Redpath Museum intertwines education and exploration, offering exhibits that span evolutionary biology, geology, and cultural history.
