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

I thought this musuem was really interesting, but I love the odd, strange and weird. However, the museum is set up and designed for medical students, so everything is written for med students as well, and therefore some of it was a little over my head ( I should have brushed up on my latin). Overall though, I really enjoyed... more

We really enjoyed the museum, the building and the displays are like stepping back in time - an old laboratory. more

Ok so tickets are 12 bucks a person and you walk into a large room with glass cases that line the wall and glass cases around the staircase (which leads to a similar room below). All of these cases are filled with random medical tools, photos, and information cards that give you background and explanations of everything. The problem is... more

The Mutter Museum is interesting but if you are a novice to the medical world, you will find yourself very confused and out of your element. Some of the exhibits are also a lot more graphic then advertised. We found ourselves having to read for the entire 45 minutes we spent there and had headaches by the time we left.... more
