  • not worth the money
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 08/20/07
    the place has MANY WAX displays, very boring, they have many real skulls to many actually, and all the specimens are in this glass case that the glass is wavy and some of the real stuff they have is too low to the floor. They do not have any ramps for strollers to get in the place and once in to view the downstairs one room they have, you have to ...

  • Can I get a refund!
    By Yvette, 08/03/06
    Do not get any high expectations going to the museum. The website and the reviews did there job to get me to go but in the end after visiting the museum I felt it was over priced for things that a you could see in a high school fair. The people I spoke with coming out shared my feelings as well. Big disapointment.

  • Waste of Money
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 07/10/07
    I thought this place would be really cool and interesting. I was wrong. It's a small exhibit and the majority of the stuff was not the real thing but a wax replica. I found the staff to be rude and heard them yell at someone for using thier cell phone. You can't take pictures or use your cell phone and the small gift shop does not ...

  • not worth it
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 10/16/07
    I went in with high expectations, after reading all the reviews, but ggrhhhh..... not worth it. most of the displays are wax models, and obviously very hard to believe all the stories behind them. I certainly appreciate the atmosphere, its cozy.... nice place to hang out on winters...

  • Interesting
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 10/14/05
    This place was interesting. You have to have a strong stomach for some of the things you will see. I am a premed student, so it was somewhat relevant, but if you are not interested in medicine of the past then this might not be the place for you! Overall, it was a pretty fun place to visit since I live in the area. This is a good place to go on ...

  • unique museum experience!
    By Robyn, 06/16/05
    The Mutter Museum basically comprises three rooms, but it holds some of the more unusual items you may ever see. It's been about a year since I was there, and I still think of it as one of the first things to recommend to friends visiting Philadelphia...the ones who aren't squeamish of course, because the museum has all sorts of medical ...

  • A unique and enlightening experience
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 04/09/07
    I loved the Mutter Museum. At first, its awkwardness and disturbances can throw you off guard (and it's not for the faint of heart!) but for those that can tolerate it, it is extremely fascinating and educational. It makes you open your eyes to some things out of this bubble we call normalcy.

  • A must for any in medicine
    By Dawn, 05/21/07
    As a 30+ year medical professional, this place is the most unique I've ever experienced. I've been back a second time because there is so much to absorb. Absolutely incredible and a must for anyone who is in medicine or who loves the bizarre.
