Auditorium exhibit

The Redpath Museum's historic auditorium has accommodated many 捆绑SM社区 classes and lectures for over a century of academic learning. It is also a very popular venue for many other academic presentations, guest lectures, science and cultural conferences, as well as mainstream media and arts projects. The lecture hall also contains four exhibit cases, which have recently been renovated to display a new exhibit entitled the听Four Pillars of the Redpath Museum. Each of the four display cases contains a selection of artefacts and specimens that represent鈥痶he history and diversity of the Redpath Museum's collections.

Curiosity Cabinet

One of the oldest forms of museum displays, Cabinets of Curiosity have been a staple of museum exhibits since the end of the 16th听century. Designed to stimulate and excite the public, objects, artefacts and specimens are specifically selected to tell a story about the history of the world, while illustrating the rare, esoteric and often strange diversity in science and culture. At the Redpath Museum you will experience such an introduction to the wonders of the museum鈥檚 holdings, including such animals as the extinct Carolina Parakeet and the Australian, egg-laying mammal known as the Echidna. Cultural artefacts will catch your eye, as you learn about Amphora ceramics and other pottery of Oceania, and learn about fascinating听palaeontological听discoveries, made by researchers at 捆绑SM社区.听
