Well, i've only been there briefly - my daughter goes to college
nearby (Swarthmore).

One thing to be sure to see in Philly is the Mutter Museum... too bad
they stopped making their calendars. It's a throwback to the
Victorian age - it was created to assist physicians and is housed at
the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Here's a blurb from the website:
"The Museum's collections include over 20,000 objects, including
fluid-preserved anatomical and pathological specimens, medical
instruments, anatomical and pathological models, items of memorabilia
of famous scientists and physicians, and medical illustrations."

If you've got the tech, they even have a "virtual tour".
