Origins of Medicine and not only
Muzeum Farmacji
Why locals love it
The Pharmacy Museum on Floriańska is one of the many branches of the National Museum, and it's amazing that it's not more well-known. It's a quirky and interesting place to visit in the centre of the Old Town. This curious museum is a hidden gem, that is well worth a visit.
