The Mütter Museum is a medical museum located in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It contains a collection of medical oddities, 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.
This Museum is home to some pretty fucking sweet ass weird specimen's such as A malignant tumor removed from President Grover Cleveland's hard palate, conjoined liver from the famous Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker, A piece of tissue removed from the thorax of Abraham Lincoln's assassin (John Wilkes Booth),Slides of Albert Einstein's brain and so much more strange and abnormal specimen's. Also this very Museum inspired American Horror Story - Freakshow.
The Soap Lady was exhumed in Philadelphia in 1875 and is unique because a fatty substance called adipocere that encases the remains.
