Camille Bacon-SmithKyle's photos are always amazing, and the whole exhibit sounds worthwhile.

Miss Fidget@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs I wish them so much luck. The hatred showered on women from the state and individuals for having bodies w biology. To be blunt medically necessary abortions are why the #MutterMuseum doesn't get new specimens of non-viable pregnancies - why some women are still alive after a spontaneous but partial miscarriage could kill them of sepsis #WomensHealth
VAWeisman@SLICEOFHOME If you have a chance, listen to the Mobituaries pod cast by Mo Rocca about them. It’s fabulous. The whole series is great. #Mobituaries #ChangAndEngBunker #MutterMuseum #MoRocca
Carl (He/Him)The Mütter Museum has some interesting history. I had no idea that vaccine mandates were almost 150 years old in this country.
