The Redpath Museum is a museum of natural history belonging to McGill University and located on the university's campus at 859 Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was built in 1882 as a gift from the sugar baron Peter Redpath.〔Bronson, Susan. The Design of the Peter Redpath Museum at McGill University: The Genesis, Expression, and Evolution of an Idea About Natural History. September 1992 (17:3), p. 60-76.〕 It houses collections of interest to ethnology, biology, paleontology, and mineralogy/geology. The collections were started by some of the same individuals who founded the Smithsonian and Royal Ontario Museum collections. The current director is Hans Larsson. Commissioned by Redpath to mark the 25th anniversary of Sir John William Dawson's appointment as Principal, the Museum was designed by A.C. Hutchison and A. D. Steele. McGill University's Redpath Museum Web site characterizes it as an "idiosyncratic expression of eclectic Victorian Classicism" as well as "an unusual and late example of the Greek Revival in North America."〔(''Tea and Fossils: History of the Peter Redpath Museum'' )〕 It is the oldest building built specifically to be a museum in Canada.〔("About the Museum" ), "McGill University". Accessed May 11, 2008.〕 Both the museum's interior and exterior have been utilized as a set, for movies and commercials. == Collections == Image:DinosaurInRedpathMuseum_Montreal_March2003.JPG|Signature dinosaur skeleton within the Redpath Museum, set against interior Beaux Art decorations Image:mcgill_redpath_m_albertosaurus.jpg|View of the ''Gorgosaurus'' in the central evolution exhibit atrium Image:FossilScallops-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – fossilized scallops Image:ClaudiosaurusGermaini-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Claudiosaurus germaini'' Image:Marrella_splendens_(Redpath_Museum,_Montreal).png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Marrella splendens'' Image:Limnoscelis(Cast)-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Limnoscelis'' Image:PecopterisBucklandi-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Pecopteris bucklandi'' Image:CamptorhynchusLabradoriusMale(CloseUp)-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Camptorhynchus labradorius'' Image:Dendrerpeton(Skull)-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Dendrerpeton'' Image:ConuropsisCarolinensis-RedpathMuseumMontreal-June6-08.png|Redpath Museum Collection – ''Conuropsis carolinensis'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Redpath Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
