La Maladie comes to Mutter
The museum is full of medical oddities and human anatomy

CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- Philadelphia's Mutter Museum was already full of medical oddities and human anatomy, including pieces of Einstein's brain.

Thursday the collection expanded to include a new display, called La Maladie, which is making its first appearance on the east coast.

The exhibit features images of body parts set against gold leaf, It's essentially a shimmering study of what makes us human.

It opens to the public Friday, and stays open until early July.
