Create an itinerary including Mutter Museum

Founded in 1858, Mutter Museum displays an array of medical equipment, biological samples, models, diagrams, and bizarre preserved specimens. The museum itself is a section of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, and includes preserved abnormal human organs, bones, and wax molds, intended to display the mystery and complexity of the human body. While many exhibits are strange and are presented as if in a Victorian-era museum, they also provide a great deal of information on the progression of medical technology. Be aware that this museum may not be suitable for the faint of heart or those easily disturbed.

Interesting artefacts, easy to navigate, with clear interpretation. This was an enjoyable couple of hours for this group of older couples.

What an excellent museum. It is full of facinating collections, and long may it last as other museums are forced to hide collections because of woke considerations There was also a great exhition...

Hadn’t been here in years, so took a client here that loves forensic sciences, and this was a hit! It’s even more amazing than I remembered and the gift shop is reasonably priced. Spent a few hours here, and will definitely return. The pandemic exhibition was very informative and intriguing. I never knew about the garden outside. Beautiful outing.

There are no photos allowed inside the actual museum so i can't share them here, but please go and see for yourself, this place is so interesting to see! If you're faint of heart, tread lightly as there are certainly some shocking things inside! A beautiful blend of cool, creepy, weird, and informative! Would definitely recommend to anyone on the odder side or interested in the medical field!
