Wonderful museum to spend a few hours in. Good for both kids and adults. A throw back museum that is focused on the exhibits without electronics. Great in general but especially when the weather is cold and nasty

Went here for the day to see the fossils and other memorabilia. As you leave the Metro station you need to cross the road and go up the hill. At the top turn left and walk about 200 yards before entering McGill University through the gates on the right. There were some protesting students there when we attended. As you walk through the gate walk straight ahead and the large building on the left, with the outside steps, is where the museum is sited. There is no entrance fee and visitors can make a donation in the box on the counter. The museum is mainly on two floors. It's best to start at the top where the Egyptian objects are sited before moving on to the first floor. There are skeletons on display, like those from the museum in London, but I don't like the stuffed animals, which clearly suggests they were first shot. However, it was great to spend a few hours there and I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in history.

A few things you should know this is a free museum! Make sure to check the opening hours and days. Most likely well maintained just need a little more cleaning and maintenance but its running by donations since its totally free to get in. It’s a beautiful place to come with your family or kids it’s located in the mcgill campus and has 3 floors. Expect that most of the fossils, artefact, antique are not real but it’s mostly about learning and getting informed about these things. Overall a cool experience to do for free when you have time in downtown!
