The Mütter Museum’s Third Annual Radiant Ball allowed guests to explore themed items from the Museum and Library collections, as well as a party inspired by the scientific imagination of the period. This electrifying evening celebrates the future of medicine through the lens of Marie Curie and her contemporaries. Curie came to the US for the first time in 1921, visiting The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, to discuss the use of radium in her work and present her piezo-electric measurement device.
Guests wore their most glamorous 1920s garb, learned about the innovations in medical technology during the time period, and danced to jazz-age grooves as the College transformed its historic building into a dazzling affair!
