Best Museum - Mutter Museum of College Physicians of Philadelphia

The Mutter Museum is our favorite way to get our freak on. [OK, second favorite.] Founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies, today the Mutter Museum is probably the most disturbing museum we’ve ever been to, in the best way possible. Where else can you get up close and personal with the plaster cast of the torso of world-famous Siamese twins Chang & Eng, and their conjoined livers? Or ooh and aah over the preserved body of the "Soap Lady"? Ogle the cancerous growth removed from President Grover Cleveland? Or muse a collection of 2,000 objects extracted from people's throats? You have to see it to believe it. So go see it already!
