Pharmaceutical Museum

Havana, Cuba

About the company:

Of all the museums located in Cuba, the most unique is the Museum of Pharmacy, located in the building of a former French pharmacy. All exhibits of the institution - devices and raw materials for the preparation of essences, remained unchanged. The vessels designed to store and prepare medicines were made to order from massive Bohemian glass. The building of the former pharmacy became famous in the city even before the opening of the museum, thanks to its telephone booth, installed the first in the city.

The museum’s infrastructure includes a library that stores prescriptions, their purpose and cost, as well as a laboratory beneath it in which medicines were developed, boiled and bottled. Exit from the museum laboratory leads to the main street of the city, decorated with flowers and fountains.

A trip to the Pharmaceutical Museum can be a great pastime for you and your family. You will be pleasantly surprised by the politeness of the staff and the availability of prices. The museum has a small shop where you can buy various handmade souvenirs. Entrance to the institution is only 0.8 dollars.
