MISS DOCENT: Two dozen skeletons and a half-dozen robots

POSTED: Thursday, January 26, 2012, 11:00 AM

Filed Under: Arts Museum

The museum known for giving you the best in 19th-century medical oddities bares its sensitive side in the exhibit “Mütter Museum Photographs.” Feauturing work from photographers like Richard Ross, Mark Kessell and Olivia Parker, the showcase demonstrates, as guest curator Laura Lindgren explains, “artwork that's inherent in the specimens” of Mütter Museum. The photographs coincide with the screening of the Quay brothers' film Through the Weeping Glass: On Consolations of Life Everlasting, which serves as an effort to bring artists together beneath the endless inspiration in the Museum's skulls and wax corpses.

Through Feb. 22, $10-15, Museum, 19 S. 22nd St., 215-563-3737, collegeofphysicians.org.
