Protect the Mütter
@protectthemutter.bsky.social
A year ago we launched our petition, which has since garnered tens of thousands of signatures from all over the world. Huge progress has been made. We are bubbling over with pride at what has been accomplished by a scrappy group of neurodivergent queers. Fun fact, the man loved hot pink silk.

Anna Dhody is no longer the curator at the Mütter. The news is buried in the latest member email and nowhere on social media but we think people should know. Anna devoted nearly 20 years to the Mütter and those who love it. Her exit is a huge loss for us all.

Our team woke up to the news out of Baltimore and wanted to express concern. If you have people in the Baltimore area, reach out to them. This is going to affect a lot of people, for a while, not to mention the missing. 🫀

Roses are red
Violets are Blue
Without weirdos like us
The Mütter Museum would have no revenue 🫀

THE MÜTTER MUSEUM IS A UNIQUE AND INVALUABLE MEDICAL HISTORY MUSEUM, BIO-REPOSITORY AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION NOT A CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Now here we are 30ish years later, they're at it again. Unfortunately, Gretchen is no longer with us. So it's up to us. Call, email, post, tag, share. The people who want to ruin the Museum have been defeated before, we can do it again. Read the quoted article here:

Did you know? The Board has tried to ruin the Mütter Museum before. In the 90s, the Board and leadership tried to steer the Mütter away from medical anomaly, from "death", and from "attracting too much attention". Lucky for us, they failed thanks to the incredible Gretchen Worden.

We've been trying to think of the best way to describe our feelings about the Unhoused exhibit currently at the Mütter. Homelessness is a very real public health issue that has persisted throughout history.

Stuck inside on a snow day? Looking for a way to pass the time? Take a few minutes to contact local media & tell them how important it is to keep up coverage on the Mütter! Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Make today the day you write an op-ed to letters@inquirer.com & help us Protect the Mütter!!

WHYY posted an article about the disastrous leadership at the #muttermuseum yesterday...and then almost immediately took it down. Good think we got screenshots

We're only a few signatures away from 36k and we'd love to start the new year on a nice even number. If we hit 36k before 2024, we'll do another giveaway 🥳

The organizing team at Protect the Mütter wishes a Happy Thanksgiving to all who observe. We are so thankful for our amazing supporters, and for the progress we have made as an organization. At the same time, we must acknowledge the harmful origins of the holiday, as well our city, state and country

We've been a little quiet this month because of some exciting developments behind-the-scenes. Our organizers have been engaged in very productive conversations with persons high up in the administration and feel cautiously optimistic about the future. Good things may be on the horizon.
