The Mutter Museum of Medical History is located at the Philadelphia College of Medicine, Pennsylvania.
It is the largest collection of medical pathologies, antique medical equipment and biological artifacts. The museum keeps expositions that are not recommended for viewing by persons with a weak mentality or highly susceptible people. The weird vibe of this place fluctuates relentlessly between delightful and intimidating, depending on what you've already seen.
The Mutter Museum was opened in early 1750 by Benjamin Franklin, but did not begin to function at full capacity until 1858. Initially, the unusual collection was collected exclusively for scientific research for educational purposes, but today it is used as a grandiose museum, the doors of which are open to anyone. Many tourists from all over the world come to Philadelphia just to see these horrific exhibits.
One of the most famous exhibits in the Mutter Museum of Medical History is a woman's body, which was turned into soap due to the unusual conditions of her burial site. The collection of human skulls of different shapes and sizes, of which there are 48 pieces, is also impressive. No less famous is the real human intestine of an abnormally large size.

Garia Eastlak's personality is very popular in medical circles. This man suffered from a strange illness, as a result of which a new limb began to grow in his place of bruises. At the age of 40, just before his death, he voluntarily decided to donate his body to the museum. That is why photographs of a person are presented here, where various growths resembling limbs are visible on the patient's arms and legs.
For a long time, people were interested in the structure of a person, but only after carefully examining this museum you understand both all the perfection of our body, and all the horror of possible deformities. The exhibition features many wax models, as well as skeletons and preserved internal organs. And the accreted female fetus placed in a glass cube jar filled with a special liquid never ceases to shock the majority of visitors to the exhibition.
Bright "warm" lighting not only makes the guests of the museum comfortable, but also emphasizes the individuality of each exhibit. Having been here at least once, you are unlikely to forget this both frightening and mesmerizing place.
