Pharmacy Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on the cobblestones of Kurzy Targ, a stone's throw from Wrocław's bustling Market Square, the Pharmacy Museum feels like stepping into an alchemist's secret den. It’s not a sterile gallery but a wonderfully preserved apothecary, where the air itself seems to carry whispers of old remedies. You'll find yourself peering into beautiful, dark-wood cabinets filled with hand-blown glass bottles, ornate ceramic jars labeled with Latin inscriptions, and all manner of brass mortars and pestles. This is a place that tells the story of centuries of healing, magic, and science, all contained within a few intimate rooms.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is the stunning reconstruction of an 18th-century pharmacy counter, complete with its original painted drawers and gilded details. Don't miss the collection of sinister-looking bloodletting devices or the delicate majolica drug jars from Italy that once held everything from saffron to mercury.
Visitor Information
It's surprisingly easy to fit into an afternoon; you can soak it all in within an hour. Given its compact size and popularity, it's wise to check their website for any seasonal opening hours before you go.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic burgher townhouse, its unassuming facade gives little hint of the historical treasure trove hidden inside.
