The Mütter Museum is a medical museum located in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It contains a collection of anatomical and pathological specimens, wax models, and antique medical equipment. The museum is part of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. The original purpose of the collection, donated by Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter in 1858, was for biomedical research and education. Collections The Mütter Museum originated as a collection of specimens and medical tools used for education in medicine. The museum has a collection of over 20,000 specimens, of which about 10% were on display as of 2018. This does not include the large literary collection contained within the Historical Medical Library, which is also housed within the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Osteological (skeletal) specimens The Mütter Museum is home to over 3,000 osteological specimens, including several full skeletons. One of the most famous of these is the fully articulated skeleton of Harry Raymond Eastlack, who suffered from FOP. Eastlack donated his skeleton to the Mütter collection to assist in further medical understanding of the condition. Other osteological specimens include: The Mütter American Giant, the tallest human skeleton on exhibit in North America, at 7’6" (228.6 cm) tall. The Hyrtl Skull Collection, a collection of 139 skulls from Josef Hyrtl, an Austrian anatomist. This collection's original purpose was to show the diversity of cranial anatomy in Europeans. Wet specimens The Mütter Collection comprises almost 1,500 wet specimens acquired between the 19th and 21st centuries. These include teratological specimens, cysts, tumors and other pathologies from nearly every organ of the body. Wax models Augmenting the real human specimens on display are numerous wax models displaying various examples of pathology in the human body. These models, mostly produced by Tramond of Paris and Joseph Towne of London, were used for training in lieu of real human remains. Other specimens The museum's holdings also include: A malignant tumor removed from President Grover Cleveland's hard palate The conjoined liver and plaster torso death cast of the famous Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker A piece of thoracic tissue removed from John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln A section of the brain of Charles J.
