Montréal - Rue Sherbrooke 
Named after Sir John Sherbrooke, Governor General of Canada from 1816 to 1818, Rue Sherbrooke is probably the city's most elegant main shopping thoroughfare, still retaining in the downtown section something of its 19th c. charm as it cuts across the Île de Montréal from east to west. At the turn of the century the few thousand people living in this quarter on the slopes of Mont-Royal owned about 70 per cent of Canada's wealth, earning it the title of the "Golden Square Mile".

McGill University
Not far from the museum is the extensive campus of McGill University, its student body currently numbering about 30,000. This major university was founded in 1821 thanks to the generosity of one James McGill, politician and fur trader, whose statue (1875) stands on what was once the site of Hochelaga, the Indian village. Also on the campus is the Redpath Museum of Natural History.
