Named for the sugar baron who generously supported the museum, The Redpath has been around since 1882.This museum on the campus of McGill University features a wide range of fossils (including dinosaurs), skeletons of rare and extinct animals, rocks and minerals, and a fine collection of Egyptian antiquities. Courses offered by the Museum include Science Writing and a new museum studies course, Science and Museums, which focuses on the history of research and management of natural history collections. At the graduate level, students wanting to study biosystematics and evolutionary biology can find several supervisors working on a variety of topics.
