On South 22nd Street in Philadelphia lies the College of Physicians, home to the Mutter Museum.  (The word “Mutter” has those two dots over the “u” kind of like that metal band “Motorhead” with the dots over the “o”)

The Mutter Museum was founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies.  Uh oh!  Yes, this is the place you’ve heard about, or perhaps have seen with all of the jars of assorted body parts and other icky things.

Conjoined twins, a skull collection, 2,000 items extracted from throats, colons, brains and even a growth removed from President Grover Cleveland!  The “strange factor” appears to have blown right off the chart. - Dave H
