What happens when disease strikes a city of two million people, sickening half a million and killing more than 12,000 in just six weeks and 20,000 in six months? During the fall of 1918, in the last months of World War I, Philadelphia hosted the largest parade in its history. Within days, influenza casualties overwhelmed hospitals.

Join us on Wednesday, September 25th for an infectious lecture, influenza exhibition, and Mütter Museum Pop-Up at Tattooed Mom!
FREE // 21+ // UPSTAIRS

Robert D. Hicks, Director of the Mütter Museum, will lead a talk about the disaster that claimed more than 16,000 lives in six months, as well as an exhibition of relevant artifacts from the museum collection, both of which highlight the museum’s most ambitious exhibition, Spit Spreads Death: the 1918-19 Influenza Pandemic in Philadelphia.

Join us for a brew, burger specials, and a bit of local dark history—PLUS the chance to win tickets to the museum!

Exclusive talk begins at 6:30PM.
Can’t make it? Don’t miss out on the exhibit, and make sure to catch the museum’s interactive commemorative parade with Blast Theory UK on September 28th!
