The Redpath Museum is an academic unit of ɬÀï·¬. Its mission is to foster understanding and appreciation of the diversity of our biological, geological, and cultural heritage through scientific research, collections-based study, and education. Its collections have been growing for over a century, and provide
resources for research and for graduate and undergraduate education in biology,
geology, anthropology, and other fields. Its largest collections include fossils
from the ancient sea floor of eastern Quebec, the oldest land plants, a vast
range of minerals, molluscs from around the world, Egyptian and classical
antiquities, and artifacts from Central Africa. The Museum also houses research
laboratories and classrooms.
The Museum welcomes ɬÀï·¬ students and staff to visit its permanent

material from Quebec and neighbouring regions, as well as displays that feature
the mineral and mollusc collections. The Museum also features a world cultures
gallery devoted to cultures throughout the world, including ancient Egypt,
classical Greece and Rome, Asia, and Africa.
