  • A Philadelphia treasure and coveted masterpiece of 19(th)-century American art, The Gross Clinic is Thomas Eakins' exquisite ode to medicine, depicting Dr. Samuel D. Gross attending to a patient in the surgical amphitheater at Jefferson Medical College in 1875. The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts now jointly own the original, which is currently not on view, but a reproduction hangs at Thomas Jefferson University's Eakins Gallery. Jefferson Alumni Hall, 1020 Locust Street, jefferson.edu/eakins
  • Named for its most famous resident and the "Father of American Surgery," Dr. Philip Syng Physick, the Physick House is an 18(th)-century townhouse in Society Hill that epitomizes the Federal style of architecture and furnishings. Physick's medical accomplishments included caring for the sick during the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793, pioneering the use of the stomach pump and cataract surgery and tending to celebrity patients like Dolly Madison, Benjamin Rush and Chief Justice John Marshall. 321 S. 4(th) Street, (215) 925-7866, philalandmarks.org/phys.aspx

Changing temporary exhibitions draw from a vast collection of more than 10,000 pharmaceutical and medical objects that date back more than 400 years. Visitors can examine mortars and pestles, apothecary jars, nursing equipment, teaching materials and other illuminating items. 600 S. 43(rd) Street, (215) 596-8721, usip.edu/museum
