Dr. Mütter String Doll Keychain
Introducing our very own Dr. Mütter String Doll! Poised with his trusty scalpel in hand, Dr. Mütter's "special power" reads "Dr. Mütter wants you to be a cut above the rest."
Dr. Mütter was famous for performing surgeries including tumor removal, adjustments of cleft palates, and rhinoplasty among others. In a modern day sense, he was quite similar to a plastic surgeon. He is the one we can all thank for originally donating his personal collection of specimens for study, making the Mütter Museum what it is today!
Take a look at his original photo - how do you think he compares to his String Doll self?
Collection Connection:
Dr. Mütter, the namesake for the Mütter Museum, began the museum with his donation of medical specimens after his passing. To learn more about some of our permanent exhibitions, click here!
