 Join the Wagner and The Mütter Museum and Historical Medical Library in learning about anatomical structures, how the study of anatomy has developed since the 19th century, and the vital role museums and their collections play in advancing scientific knowledge.

Enjoy a plethora of hands-on activities for all ages including sketching in the museum, creating your own wet specimen, a skeleton matching game, a bone model pop-up, and a make-your-own paper skeleton!

Sara Ray, PhD, Senior Director of Interpretation and Engagement at The Mütter Museum and Historical Medical Library will deliver a talk in our Victorian lecture hall at 1 PM and again at 3 PM! Learn about the 19th-century science of comparative anatomy and the central role of museums in the scientific quest to understand nature’s order and laws.
