MISCHIEF AT THE MUTTER

"Mischief at the Mutter" is set for Friday. The costumed party includes a superstition-filled supper called Club 13. The Mutter Museum in Center City has real human remains on display, including Albert Einstein's brain. The morbid collection makes it the perfect spot for Halloween. MUTTER MUSEUM
