Time for #ThrowbackThursday but with a twist! In collaboration with the incredible ✨@lynx_peachy ✨on Instagram, enjoy this beautifully illustrated throwback of Horticulture Hall in 1938.
Did you know that Hort Hall was the sight of the first Women's Rights Convention in PA?

RIP to an absolute legend!

[Mütter Museum @MutterMuseum]

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Horatio(a) the #leech. Horatio(a) was an important member of our team since 2014 and helped educate our fans about the life of leeches through Youtube videos like this one: https://t.co/XZwKYsrp8O! S/he will be greatly missed.
