More from McGill and beyond

The Redpath Museum possesses a rich repository of knowledge and educational resources which contribute to the understanding of Canada's natural history and the world's material cultures. 

The educational programs extend and enrich the classroom experience by bringing curricula to life. Dynamic and hands-on, they are geared to stimulate multiple intelligences through scientific inquiry in an informal educational environment. All the educational programs at the Redpath Museum are designed to meet MEQ (Ministère de l'Éducation). Achievements and Competencies are based on the Common Framework of Science Learning Outcomes (K-12) set by the Canadian Council of Ministers of Education (2009).

Land Acknowledgement

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
