The city of Philadelphia, in the East Coast state of Pennsylvania, has a storied history.
From 1790 to 1800, the city served as the temporary capital of the United States and was home to the two Continental Congresses, where delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, the nation’s founding document. Tourists still flock to see the Liberty Bell, an iconic symbol of American independence.
Also tucked away in this historic city is the most visited medical museum in the world.
Officially known as the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the site is sometimes referred to as the Museum of Medical Monstrosities.
