Vampirism Pop-Up Exhibit

Special Exhibition

Mütter Museum

Coming soon: 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 from February 7 through May 31, including February 7, 8, 15, and 28, from 12 to 4 p.m. We will continue to update upcoming dates here.
