On March 1, Nuit blanche took over Montréal for its 22nd edition. The annual all-night festival brings cultural events to every corner of the city, including ²Ñ³¦³Ò¾±±ô±ô’s downtown campus.ÌýÌý

This year, ²Ñ³¦³Ò¾±±ô±ô’s Redpath Museum once again took part in the festivities, giving community members the chance to explore and rediscover the Museum after dark with flashlights. Over 500 people attended the family-friendly event throughout the night to shine a light on the Museum’s exhibits, including its mineral and biodiversity exhibits.ÌýÌý

²Ñ³¦³Ò¾±±ô±ô’s ³¢±ð³Ù’s Talk Science group and the Macdonald Campus also participated in the event, presenting specimens from the Museum’s collections to visitors throughout the evening. Steampunk Montreal, a local group celebrating the science fiction steampunk genre, was also on site to entertain visitors. The local group has become a familiar fixture of the Redpath Museum’s Nuit Blanche programming, having been involved with the event for several years.Ìý
