The Soap Lady (Mütter Museum)

The Soap Lady is a preserved human body on public display at the Mütter Museum, an example of adipocere (grave wax) formation first acquired by the College of Physicians of Philadelphia in the 19th century. The specimen has been a long-standing, documented exhibit in the museum's collection used for medical education and public display. The Mütter Museum is known for its anatomical and pathological installations and the Soap Lady is one of its most frequently cited exhibits.
