Vampirism Pop-Up Exhibit

Special Exhibition

Mütter Museum

Open select weekends 2/7–5/31

The Mütter Museum invites you to sink your fangs into our next seasonal pop-up exhibit: Vampirism!

This pop-up examines vampires as a metaphor for 19th-century diseases and medical anxieties. Learn about the people who influenced their literary evolution, as well as the real medical conditions and misunderstandings that inspired the vampires' most recognizable characteristics. 

Vampirism will be on view at the Museum on select weekends through May 31. Dates include March 7, 8, 21, 22, 28, and 29, and April 11, 18, and 25, from 12 to 4 p.m.

These are subject to change. We will continue to update upcoming dates here.
