The Mütter Museum is Philadelphia's strangest--and possibly grossest, depending on your perspective--tourist attraction. Originally started as a collection of medical oddities for research and the education of students at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the museum draws flocks of people looking to be informed and disturbed. The Mütter's collection includes a wall of over 100 human skulls and an eight-foot-long colon.Parking and Public Transportation at the Mütter MuseumThe Mütter Museum is one of the most easily accessible attractions using Philadelphia's public transportation: nearly every trolley line stops at Market and 22nd, just a block north of the museum. Amtrak also services the nearby 30th Street Station.The Mütter Museum does not have its own parking lot, though there is paid street parking available around the museum, as well as several parking garages within walking distance, including one around the block from the museum on 21st Street.Admission to the Mütter MuseumIt's $16 for adults to access the museum, and $11 for children ages 6-17. Children 5 and under get in for free, but parents of young children might want to visit or do some research first to determine if their child is ready for this level of creepiness. Seniors, students, and those in the military receive discounted admission with valid ID.Must See/Do at the Mütter MuseumThe Mütter Museum has rotating exhibits, like The Aesthetics of Medical Science. Of course, you can't go to the Mütter without visiting The Soap Lady or the the cast of conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker. Other fan favorites include the cast of the woman with a growth in the shape of a giant horn coming out of her forehead, and the slices of Albert Einstein's brain.Other Places to Visit Near the Mütter MuseumMuseum lovers must check out the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Franklin Institute. Shopping enthusiasts and foodies will find a lot to love in the nearby Rittenhouse neighborhood.Insider tip for visitors to the Mütter MuseumWhile the museum's presentation evokes creepiness, its mission really is educational, so take some extra time to read the descriptions around each specimen. Also, don't miss the Benjamin Rush Medical Plant Garden, in the museum's courtyard.Author's bio: Jeff Birou is an education administrator by day, travel and freelance writer by night.
