Mütter Museum (Pennsylvania), part 2

US-PA_Renee02.jpg

Two great postcards from a fantastic museum! I also love the artifact of its sending, a golden smudge in the middle. Some people would see this as a flaw, but at first I thought it had been deliberately added as a ghostly specter (is that redundant?). One of the things that Renée writes about is how many of the human remains are paired with what is known about the people before death. While I’m sure a collection such as this has a lot of ugly in its past, this seems like one step toward recognition of the people whose remains make up much of the museum’s collection.
