Plan the day
The Mütter Museum is a museum of medical history at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia on South 22nd Street in Philadelphia, PA. The site says 18 percent of its collection is human remains.
The ticket covers all galleries, special exhibitions and the Benjamin Rush Medicinal Garden. No photography is allowed inside. The museum recommends it for ages 10 and up and leaves the call to parents, since some remains show injuries and disease. Weekend entry is timed at 50 guests per half hour, so it never gets crowded in the galleries.
