Wrocławski Dom Śląskiego Aptekarza – jego funkcja i rola

In autumn 2011, the historic pharmacist house became the seat of the Museum of Pharmacy ran by the Faculty of Pharmacy with Division of Laboratory Diagnostics at the Wroclaw Medical University. No furnishings have remained in this tenement house which has been restored mainly in the Renaissance style. Because of the collections gathered so far and the provenience of the house, it has been given the name of the Silesian Pharmacist House. The museum has taken on a natural science profile involving in particular medicine and pharmacy. With due emphasis on the job of a pharmacist and on the role of pharmacies as places of professional training, drug preparation and distribution, as well as drug research, the museum exhibition has been organized around the evolution and development of pharmaceutical sciences in the context of past medical disciplines and realities. Additionally, the exhibition refers to the scientific traditions of the Lower Silesia and Wroclaw circles after the II World War.
