Dracula and the Incorruptible Body

Case Exhibit

Mütter Museum

October 5, 2022 – April 17, 2023

Peer into a coffin-shaped exhibit to discover how people in the Victorian era would have identified a body as more than a corpse—as a vampire! Inside this new case exhibit, the Mütter explores how folklore, embalming and funerary practices, and the misunderstanding of diseases like tuberculosis, led to post-mortem identifications of ordinary citizens as vampires in the 19th century.

This exhibit is part of our Year of Dracula
