Dr. Terroux assembled Rutherford's apparatus and equipment after it had been in storage for many decades. Dr. Terroux had been a student of Rutherford at Cambridge University, and he came to McGill University in 1931 where he later became Professor of Physics. He established the museum on the second floor of the Macdonald Physics Building and was curator of the museum until 1984, when Dr. Montague Cohen (1925-2002), who was Director of Medical Physics, took over the post. Meanwhile, the museum had been moved in 1977 to the first floor of the Rutherford Physics Building, the present site.
