Tips from locals
Natural history & world cultures galleries showcasing dinosaur skeletons, extinct species & mummies
Established in 1882, the Redpath Museum preserves and displays large collections of ancient and modern organisms, minerals, and world culture (ethnological) artefacts. It serves as a teaching and reserach unit at McGill University. Research focuses on the history of life and biodiversity of the planet.
You can spend hours here learn about fossils, odd collection about stuff from all over the world and it's free!
Visiting the Redpath Museum feels like looking through an elderly relative's magic attic. It's a colonial collection to be sure--a relic of an era when bringing home a literal mummy from your trip to Egypt was culturally acceptable.
