The Redpath Museum has decided to place a moratorium on all new acquisitions for a period of three years effective on Mai 1, 2022. As the Museum enters a major planning phase of upcoming renovations, combined with a critical lack of space related to a significant growth of the collections over the past years, this measure is necessary to allow our collections team time to process all uncatalogued items and plan the reorganization of our spaces.
We thank all those who wish to donate objects or specimens and invite you to contact us when the moratorium is lifted.

Museum to Close for Major Renovations
The curatorial team is doing its best to accommodate requests to access the collections before the Museum temporarily closes for renovations at the end of 2023. Due to a major increase in demand, however, the Museum may be unable to accommodate all who wish to reference the collections during this time period. We will consider requests on a case-by-case basis and will respond to each one as soon as possible.
