History
The original idea for the walk-through heart exhibit came from Dr. Mildred Pfeiffer >, a physician and Director of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Pennsylvania Department of Health who would travel giving lectures about the heart and heart health, proposed the idea of the heart in an effort to have a centralized resource that people could visit and learn of the heart. The original materials used to construct the heart was papier-mâché chicken wire and lumber.
The Giant Heart was supposed to have only been on display for six months, but now over 50 years later, it remains one of the most visited exhibits at The Franklin Institute
Renovation
The Giant Heart and its accompanying exhibit, Bio-science Exhibit, have since been remodeled > and updated. The Bio-science exhibit as a whole carries on the tradition of teaching and sparking interest in the science of the human body.
