Einstein’s Brain on Display for First Time in U.S.

Samples of Albert Einstein's brain have been put on display at the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

A Neuropathologist Lucy Rorke-Adams has donated 46 slides of Einstein's gray matter to the museum, which is part of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Einstein's brain was "carefully preserved, partitioned and distributed" after his death in 1955. Most of Einstein's preserved brain has been kept at the University Medical Center at Princeton and the autopsy was performed by a physician named Thomas Harvey.

Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist, known as the father of modern physics, who developed the well-known theory of general relativity which revolutionized the science.
