Come help us imagine the future of the Mütter Museum!

 

We are reaffirming our commitment to listening and funneling all feedback into prototyping and planning for a community- informed exhibit that amplifies collections and under-told histories to tell a fuller story. The goal of these focus groups will be targeted feedback from audiences with backgrounds including but not limited to healthcare, education, BIPOC communities, and individuals with disabilities. All are welcome.

In order to have the most voices heard, we ask that you please only sign up for one focus group during the Postmortem Project process. These small group sessions are intentionally space limited so that participants have the chance to robustly participate in the conversation. This includes our virtual options (i.e. if you have signed up for an in-person focus group please do not sign up for the virtual focus group and vice versa). Your thoughts and feedback are important to us and there are a variety of additional ways to engage with the staff over the next few months in addition to the focus groups. Thank you for your cooperation. 


This 90-minute small group experience will offer a deep dive to focus on our audience and gather their views and feedback on our upcoming topics and exhibits. These focus groups will home in on the broader context of respect, ethics, human remains, future topics, the museum, and its future.

For April, available focus groups include:


- In-Person at the College of Physicians:
o Thursday, April 25 at 12 p.m.
o Thursday, April 25 at 3 p.m.
o Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m.


- Online via Zoom
o Sunday, April 28 at 1 p.m.
o Sunday, April 28 at 4 p.m.


Each focus group is limited to 30 individuals.
Additional in-person and virtual focus groups will take place in June, August, and October.
