Moratorium

The Redpath Museum has decided to place a moratorium on all new acquisitions for a period of three years effective on Mai 1, 2022.  As the Museum enters a major planning phase of upcoming renovations, combined with a critical lack of space related to a significant growth of the collections over the past years, this measure is necessary to allow our collections team time to process all uncatalogued items and plan the reorganization of our spaces.

We thank all those who wish to donate objects or specimens and invite you to contact us when the moratorium is lifted. 

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.
