The Mütter Museum is home to more than 40,000 objects related to the history of medicine, but only a small fraction of these objects can be on display at any given time. 
 
Visible Vault
is an open-storage exhibit designed to maximize public access to our collection. The wide range of materials highlighted in Visible Vault are grouped by their form, function, or medical specialty.

Note: Access to this exhibit is included with your Museum admission.
