Trusted Messengers: Community, Confidence, and COVID-19 Early Access

We invite College Fellows and Mütter Members to attend a special early access preview of our new exhibition, Trusted Messengers: Community, Confidence, and COVID-19.

Presented in the Thomson Gallery, Trusted Messengers marks five years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and brings to life the concept of “trusted messengers” – the people and institutions that individuals and communities put faith in for healthcare information and decisions.

The exhibition features materials used in the development of the mRNA technology used in the COVID vaccine at Penn’s Weissman Lab in Philadelphia, photographs and interviews by local photographer Kyle Cassidy highlighting the experience of Philadelphia nurses during the pandemic and its ongoing impact on their mental health, and innovative community-created materials used in local initiatives to encourage COVID safety and vaccination across diverse populations.

Be the first to preview the exhibition and enjoy light refreshments.
