The Mutter Museum is definitely worth a trip. It features anatomical specimens, vintage medical equipment and some interesting books and manuscripts. The staff seemed indifferent and not especially helpful; certainly not a warm bunch, at least on this day. Admission price is modest. Museum is not very large so it is easy to explore.

Nice building, and respectful displaying of what is, in many cases, human remains. It's one big room (upper and lower floor) and another smaller room. Lots of stuff. Downside is the documentation is a bit lacking. The only audio to go with this is the "call this number on your cell phone" kind - which I am way too lazy... More

This is a relatively small museum in center city Philadelphia. The entrance fee is moderate and nearby parking is not too expensive. I went with my wife and kids on Good Friday and we spent about two hours inside. Many interesting specimens that kept everyone interested. One visit may not be enough to digest all the information. Being in the... More

Highly recommend this museum. It is a nice collection of quite historic medical specimens and exhibits that are unusual and you would not get to see everyday not only because of human subject consent issues but because it is rarer that people's illnesses of diseases advance to such a stage as what we get to see in the Mutter Museum.

The Mutter Museum is not the typical museum, it is a bit unusual. It is filled with medical and human oddities. This museum has been featured on one of the shows on the the History Channel and Discovery Channel. This museum is filled with history, from Legionaires's Disease. the Soap Woman, to information on past American Presidents, the iron lung,... More

I have wanted to make a trip to this museum for several years. I was not the slightest disappointed~Traffic getting in and out of city was horrible, but wasn't too bad once we got near the museum and it was very easy to find.

The Mutter Museum is a slightly kooky attraction I'd seen mentioned in several of Philly's tourist guide books. It's in Center City and conveniently only a few blocks from Rittenhouse Square. Off-beat and certainly not for everyone, though there were quite a few families in there and the kids didn't seem at all bothered! Basically it's two floors full of... More

This unusual museum of medical peculiarities and human oddities was interesting. Some of the exhibits are graphic and intense and may be to much for a few people. If you enjoy the weird and/or medically curious then it's a great place to visit! Allow approximately 2 hours to view.

It is fun to see. There is a lot of medical terminology used in the descriptions which made it hard for regular people (like me) to figure out what we were looking at.
