Fascinating!
This museum, located at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, is one of the finest medical history museums in America. The Mütter Museum is a 19th century style cabinet museum displaying medical artifacts such as anatomical specimens and medical instruments. Marvel at the beauty and strangeness of the human body. NOTICE FOR 2017: There will be no elevator access to the Mütter Museum for all of January and February 2017. The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, home of The Mütter Museum and Historical Medical Library, will be installing a new elevator from January 1st, 2017. Our new elevator will drastically improve access to our collections and events and visitors will be able to enjoy regular access as of early March, 2017. From January 1st - end of February, anyone unable to navigate stairs will not be able to get into our building. There will not be a ramp. Additionally, due to installation of an exciting new exhibit, access to the gallery currently hosting our Vesalius exhibit will be restricted from mid-January until early March, 2017. More details about this new exhibit will be released shortly. We apologize sincerely for any and all inconvenience that this will inevitably cause, however this vital and important maintenance to our historic building will greatly enhance our visitor experience going forward. Thank you so much for your patience.

Fascinating!
This museum is a delight to those with a medical background and is educational for everyone! Entrance fee is $20 and they have a gift shop with cute gifts that are medically-oriented. The museum is smaller than I had expected, with 2 floors of exhibits. It was a bit crowded but everyone was wearing their masks and doing their best to stay 6 feet apart. They currently have an influenza pandemic exhibit (though if this was put up before or after the current pandemic I am not sure). There are real organs/skeletons as well as models of what certain diseases would look like. The museum has a small outdoor garden with medicinal plants and facts about each. No pictures allowed inside the exhibits.

Unique Museum in Philly
I’ve been to the Mutter a handful of times and I discover something new each time. The museum is small and dimly lit; it can get crowded fast. During COVID they are only offering timed tickets that must be reserved in advance and it worked out perfectly. The Mutter only had a few other people inside when we were there. If you’re visiting in the spring or summer, make sure you go outside to check out the Benjamin Rush Medicinal Plant garden.
