Muzeul de Farmacie Sibiu

The Pharmacy Museum in Sibiu is arranged in a historic building in the city centre that once housed one of the oldest pharmacies in Transylvania, with an activity spanning several centuries. The museum, part of the Brukenthal National Museum, presents visitors with the development of the pharmaceutical art, with instruments, containers, ceramic and glass vessels, scales, mortars and substances used over time to prepare medicines. The collections illustrate both traditional pharmaceutical practice and the development of medical science, including objects linked to homeopathy, whose founder had connections with Sibiu.

The authentic atmosphere of the rooms, with period furniture and shelving, carries the visitor into a pharmacy of times past. Set in the heart of the Sibiu historic centre, near the Great Square and other sites, the museum is easy to include in a tour of the city. It is recommended for those interested in the history of medicine and pharmacy and in the rich cultural heritage of Sibiu, a city with European traditions.
