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.
Thanks to its close association with McGill University, courses and educational resources offered by the Redpath Museum focus on science topics for all grade levels to the university level. At the graduate level, students wanting to study biosystematics and evolutionary biology can find several supervisors working on a variety of topics with new offerings periodically.
