What Can Go Wrong With the Brain?
Find out at the Mutter Museum
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
10 AM – 12 PM
Have you ever gone past the Mütter Museum and wondered what is inside? Or felt too ill-at-ease to go see for yourself? This is your chance to find out in the good company of fellow Penn’s Village members and guestsand with guidance from the Museum’s education staff.
We will have a guided tour of the Museum and a special class focused on The Brain: More Than Just Gray Matter! In the class we’ll learn what different parts of the brain do, talk about various diseases of and injuries to the brain, and in a tour, we will see some specimens of those brain anomalies. We’ll learn the history of the anatomy of the human brain through specimens and models, and the medicine that’s been used to heal it.
