Thanks to this 360 Virtual Tour from McGill University, experience a little bit of your favorite museum on your own device!

 

Three views are offered, right in front of our main door, have a look at the main campus; then make your way in and check out the auditorium and the 2nd floor gallery. Once you are done, enjoy the rest of the tour and explore the downtown or Macdonald campuses, there are many great places to discover.

 

Have fun discovering the museum in a different way!
