The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday: 10am to 6pm on weekdays (except Wednesday, when the museum is open until later), and 10am to 5pm on weekends. Weekends are busiest, particularly Sunday afternoons. To make the most of your visit, stop by between June and October, when the museum often hosts open-air exhibitions.
Exploring the McGill University Campus

You’ll spot historic buildings, students running to and from class, and the university’s Redpath Museum, featuring exhibits on natural history.
