Welcome to the Mütter Museum for Wawa Welcome America 2024!

 

We’re so pleased to be participating in Wawa Welcome America! Join us on Monday, July 1st, 2024 at the Mütter Museum for Wawa Welcome America! America’s finest museum of medical history, the Mütter, displays collections of anatomical specimens, models and medical instruments in a nineteenth-century setting. This includes slides of Einstein’s Brain, the 139 skulls from Hyrtl’s collection, and a rotation of art exhibits that accompany the themes and aims of the Museum’s collections. 

 

Visitors can explore special exhibits such as Unhoused: Personal Stories and Public Health and Postmortem, attend pop-up exhibits and gallery talks from our Library and Museum staff, color our collection in the historic ambiance and stately architecture of Ashhurst and Mitchell Halls, and relax in our beautiful Benjamin Rush Medicinal Plant Garden.
