Redpath Museum

The Redpath Museum is a museum of natural history belonging to McGill University located at 859 Sherbrooke Street West (45�30'16.20''N, 73�34'38.60''W) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was built in 1882 as a gift from the sugar baron Peter Redpath. It is rumoured that it was part of an effort to ensure that Sir William Dawson would not leave the university. It houses collections of interest to ethnology, biology, paleontology, and mineralogy/geology. The collections were started by some of the same individuals who founded the Smithsonian and Royal Ontario Museum collections.
