One of their more famous specimens is these conjoined twins with a single shared head. The place has some bonkers stuff.

Y'all need to visit the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia if you want to see cool skulls. They have walls of them, displaying things like damage from disease, trepination, and yes also things like axe attacks. It's a small part of the museum but is fascinating. The entire place is dedicated to medical anomalies. You can see conjoined twin skeletons, the world's largest colon, tumors removed from past presidents in jars, the skeleton of the world's tallest man, etc. It's great.



Can confirm. I lived in Philly for 5 years and this place was all kinds of wild even back then. Buddy of mine and me discussed the idea of dropping acid and checking it out. Glad we reconsidered that.

Why would you drop acid? This sort of poo poo is amazing. Granted, I'm fairly interested in biology and biomechanics and have a career in the field, but the Bodies exhibit was just so cool to see, and I'm tempted to check out Philly just because this place exists.

Given how tiny the skeleton is, I don't think they did. At least not for very long.

This looks like a similar situation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniopagus_twins#Tatiana_and_Krista posted:

n 2011, The New York Times Magazine covered a story of two craniopagus twin girls who share a brain and seem to show all different kinds of physiological and emotional responses due to their condition.[17] Imagery revealed an attenuated line stretching between the two brains and forming a "thalamic bridge", a bridge connecting the two thalami. Knowing that the thalamus acts as a major control panel within the body, it is believed that the girls share part of this control panel and so when one girl drinks the other one feels it. A more recent report on the twins was released in November 2017.[28]

Although there is not an overwhelming amount of research surrounding how the union between craniopagus twins leads to different personality, cognitive and motor traits, there have been some studies exploring what it actually means to share a brain. In the case of Tatiana and Krista, it is possible that the twins shared some conscious thought. Studies of the thalamus’ role in the brain provide neurological data that help explain these behavioral observations that these two twins experience.

In short it still hasn't been that well researched apparently. :shrug:

I didn't. I was in my early 20's, tripping fairly often and thought for a brief moment it might be intense. Then I thought better of it and was really glad I didn't.

Seconding this. Or thirding I am half a page behind I think.
The wall of skulls was a collection made by one man who wanted to disprove phrenology, the racist pseudoscience that claimed the shape of your head and face were indicators of inherent traits.

There is some drama at the museum. A lot of the online archives have been disabled, which has put a ton of researchers in a difficult situation. The current head of the museum has gone full pearlclutcher over consent issues, ignoring the fact that many of the specimens on display were donated by people who wanted to help others learn. I went last summer and I thought the majority of the exhibits were pretty tasteful. There were a few where I think a replica and a burial would be more respectful to the deceased. The saponified woman and the woman with dwarfism who died in childbirth are examples of these.

It's a tricky ethical line to walk, but I think places like the Mutter are great resources for learning. A lot worse happens to most people who donate their bodies to science.

I understand but that place definitely doesn't ooze the same sort of ickiness that something like an old circus sideshow would. They aren't disrespecting or making jokes out of the exhibits. I learned a ton of interesting facts from my visits there. It was never a place to make fun of anything being displayed even if you'd go like "whoaaa ho ho... the world's largest colon??!" It was bemused wonder at something fascinating. It wasn't a joke.

e: I will say that I honestly had to run out of the place before seeing everything, the first time I visited. Seeing that many body parts and reading all the stories and descriptions made me physically ill. I still couldn't wait to go back the 2nd, 5th, 11th times, though.
