Todays question on my trivia calendar is "Where in the world can you find the Mutter Museum, home to many medical oddities, including a few slivers of Albert Einstein's brain?" I have never heard of this museum but my nurse friends may know. The u in Mutter should have two little dots over it (an umlaut) but I haven't figured out how to do that. But back to the question.
The answer is Philadelphia, PA. Evidently this museum can be found inside the headquarters of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, which is one of the oldest private medical societies in the US. It was founded 1787 and its Historical Medical Library is one of the country's oldest medical library. You can Google the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and learn all sorts of additional information.
It all sounds interesting to me. Field trip anyone?
