If you like learning about rare medical conditions and the evolution of medical practice through the years, then you'll love the Mutter Museum. Granted it may not be an attraction for everyone, but for those who are willing to check it out it is unlike any other museum. There are 2 floors that are just full of interesting exhibits and... more

We had done all the typical Philadelphia tourist venues on previous visits and this being our last (our son graduates in May), we were looking for less noted, yet still worthy museums or attractions for our time and money. I give the Mutter an average rating because it was ok, but felt it could have been so much more! The... more

After hearing and reading about this museum, we ventured into Philadelphia for the first time to be thrilled and educated. Instead we walked away bored and squinting. This museum needs to be spread out more. The displays are crammed in small rooms like a super bowl party in a Manhattan apartment. Some displays, such as a fetus in a jar... more

For those of you who love the Discovery Channel, you'll most certainly enjoy this stop at the Mutter Museum. Although it's slightly "outdated" with the explainations (as someone else put it, the labels on each exhibit), you're guaranteed to see something here that you'd never be able to see anywhere else. However, before I got there, I was under the... more

I love this museum and have recommended it to several friends. That said, it's not for everyone. Young children and the squeamish should not go. There are specimens and cross-sections of human anatomal structures and one entirely soap-ified human body. Hardest for some visitors might be a collection of human fetuses with various developmental maladies, but even these are oddly... more

The Mutter museum at the College of Physicians bills itself as "Disturbingly Informative," both of which are true. You can see in plaster, wax and/or dried or preserved flesh and blood just about anything that can go wrong with the human body. If you're avoided the Bodies Experience because the subject matter turns you off this is not a good... more

This museum is filled with many interesting one-of-a-kind medical curiousities. However, objects on display require much explaination for appreciation, which the exhibit signage often fails to offer. This museum is presented very professionally and is not a collection of freak-show oddities. It appeals to a more mature, scientific audience and may not engage children and children-at-heart. The museum is very... more

If you like the discovery health channel then you'll love this place. I work at a hospital operating room so it was cool to see all the old tools and medical mysteries. I dont understand why you cant take pictures but i guess it was worth the trip just to say you were there. If you do decide to go... more

This is 2009 not 1922! Why they haven't printed new labels with larger print is beyond me. I see this with other museums so I'm just not picking on the Mutter. With my eyes and the awkward positioning of the labels made it almost impossible for me to read the descriptions. For some reason there were a lot of attractive... more
