The Museum of Pharmacy of the Wrocław Medical University

The Museum of Pharmacy at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Wrocław Medical University was established in November 2011 and is located in the historic Kamienica Pod Złotym Orłem (House Under the Golden Eagle), dating back to the 13th century, at Kurzy Targ. For many centuries, until 1951, this building served as a pharmacy and the residence of the pharmacist, highlighting its importance in the history of local pharmacy. Architecturally, the townhouse retains Gothic style features and Renaissance elements, making it an interesting subject for research on the evolution of architecture in the region. The museum houses extensive collections related to the history of pharmacy, including tools, documents, and exhibits describing the practices and development of pharmaceutical sciences over the centuries. A major advantage of the museum is its engaging presentation, which attracts not only pharmacy students but also the general public interested in the history of medicine and pharmacy. It is also worth noting that the museum organizes various educational events and workshops, enriching Wrocław's cultural offerings. Interestingly, the building that houses the museum has witnessed numerous changes and historical events, and its atmosphere attracts enthusiasts of both history and natural sciences. Additionally, the museum is part of the scientific tradition of Wrocław Medical University, playing a significant role in pharmaceutical education in Poland.
