Welcome to this week's dive into the museum of our macabre dreams, the Mütter Museum. From skeletons, to jarred human specimens, to preserved sections of Einstein's actual brain, she is jam packed with the spooky and the yucks! This Philadelphia museum offers a glimpse into the early days of medicine and human conditions, as well as the evolution of diagnosis and treatment to modern day. You won't want to miss this!
