Pharmacy on Stairs
About This Museum
Tucked away on Kumanovska Street in old Vršac, this isn't your typical museum. It's a wonderfully preserved apothecary that feels as if the chemist has just stepped out for a moment, leaving behind the ghosts of prescriptions past. You'll find yourself in a charming, slightly cramped space where every polished wooden drawer and delicate glass bottle has a story to tell. The air even carries the faint, lingering scent of old herbs and remedies, making the past feel wonderfully present.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is the magnificent collection of hand-blown glass bottles, some still filled with their original contents, alongside ornate brass scales and beautifully crafted ceramic jars from across Europe. Don't miss the heavy leather-bound prescription books, their pages filled with elegant cursive detailing cures for ailments long forgotten.
Visitor Information
It's a small spot, so you won't need more than an hour to soak it all in. Given its popularity, it's always a good idea to check local opening times before you wander up. It’s the perfect detour after exploring the Vršac Castle.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Vršac townhouse, its charm comes from the unassuming storefront that opens into an intimate, historic interior with creaking wooden floors and original cabinetry built right into the walls.
