Blind date with a book fundraiser at the Redpath Museum!

Redpath Museum 859 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 0C4, CA
Price: 
Avec une dons entre $5 - $15

Celebrate the season with a book you don’t yet know!

The books – all selected from the Museum’s publications and / or donated by THE WORD or LA PRESSEÌý– will be wrapped so no one knows the name of the book or the author. What they will know is the basic plot, or description of contents if it is a non-fiction work, and this will be written on the outside of the wrapping paper.

Visitors are encouraged to choose a blind date to take home with a donation of $5 - $15.

Proceeds from this fundraiser at the Redpath Museum will be used to improve our public programme.

Land Acknowledgement

Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
