About

America's finest medical history museum, founded in 1863 after Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter donated his personal collection of medical specimens to the College of Physicians of Philadelphia — an independent, historic medical society founded in 1787, not a degree-granting college despite the name. The museum displays anatomical specimens, wax models, and antique medical instruments in a 19th-century "cabinet museum" setting. Strange, genuinely educational, and it sticks with you. Give yourself at least ninety minutes. Open Wednesday–Monday, 10AM–5PM.
