Lonely Planet review

A Victorian spirit of discovery pervades this old natural history museum though you won't find anything more gruesome than stuffed animals from the Laurentians hinterland. The Redpath Museum houses a large variety of specimens, a life-sized dinosaur skeleton and seashells donated from around the world. A highlight is the 3rd-floor Ethnology Gallery which traces the beginnings of mankind.

The Gallery includes Egyptian mummies, shrunken heads, and artifacts from ancient communities. There's also a section of minerals named after McGill scientists.
