mutter museum

Skulls at Mutter MuseumDave and I finally checked out the Mutter Museum, in Philadelphia.  It’s a museum inside the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, which is housed in a terrifically old and beautiful building.  The museum is full of medical specimens and implements.  They even have the livers of Chang and Eng, the famous conjoined twins.  Our favorite part of the museum was an exhibit called “When the President is the Patient.” 

The museum has a sense of humor about its collection: in their gift shop they have a shot glass with Chang and Eng’s picture, and the phrase, “Make mine a double.”
