"The Redpath is a museum of natural history belonging to McGill University. Opened in 1882 and named for sugar magnate Peter Redpath, its commissioner, the museum is an architectural jewel and a prime example of the Greek Revival style. The real draw here is the permanent collection, which contains close to three million objects. Highlights include Ancient Egyptian mummies, the cast of the Rosetta Stone, a Charles Darwin exhibition, and a spectacular minke whale skeleton." - Richard Burnett
