#32: See Redpath Museum

This is super embarassing, but I've never actually been to this museum, which happens to be right in the middle of the McGill campus. Also, as I discovered Friday night, it's also Canada's oldest museum.
And really shouldn't I have gone into most the of buildings of my own campus?
SO I DID.

I would have probably never actually gone to the museum, but Saturday night was flashlight tours! Starting at 11pm, every hour on the hour, you could get into the museum and do a visit.... in the dark. So I grabbed my awesome POWE co-president, Vanessa, woke myself up (this was the same evening as iron ring), and we headed for "a night at the museum, where everything comes alive," as Vanessa put it. Clever girl.

Turns out we didn't make it to the 11pm entrance, but instead went to the midnight one (maximum darkness outside, right?). I learned a lot of cool stuff about McGill and Montreal, downloaded a flashlight app on my phone due to pitch black-ness, and saw the biggest collection of rocks and shells I've ever seen in my life. And also a lot of embalmed animals.... that looked a little too real and alive in the darkness.

Here's the only picture I took due to no lighting whatsoever and no flash allowed... It's Vanessa and I in the first Canadian lecture hall, located near the entrance of the museum. Before the lights were off. Before things came alive.
