Musée Redpath Museum

The Redpath Museum, one of Canada's oldest free-standing museums, functions as a unique interdisciplinary unit within the Faculty of Science at McGill University. As a museum, it preserves and displays large collections of ancient and modern organisms, minerals, and world culture (ethnological) artefacts. As an academic unit, it serves as a centre for the teaching and writing of science, as well as a research institution for the study of the natural world.

Founded in 1882, the Redpath Museum's mission is to foster understanding and appreciation of the diversity of our biological, geological, and cultural heritage through scientific research, collections-based study, and education.
