Mütter Museum
The Mütter Museum is a medical history and science museum located in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US. It contains a collection of anatomical and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment. The museum is part of College of Physicians of Philadelphia. The original purpose of the museum, founded with a gift from Thomas Dent Mütter on December 11, 1858, was for the education of medical professionals, medical students, and invited guests of College Fellows, and did not become open to non-Fellows until the mid-1970s.
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia is itself not a teaching organization, but rather a member organization or "scientific body dedicated to the advancement of science and medicine".
