Ars pharmaceutica –
The art of pharmacy
The exhibition displays a reconstruction of a historical pharmacy from the late 19th century. A pharmacy’s saleroom area (oficina) with original pharmacy cupboards, stands, prescription table, pharmacy laboratory with medicine making equipment and materials (storehouse for materials) are on display. Special attention is given to artefacts from former monastic pharmacies in Olimje and Slovenska Bistrica and from the old Styria’s local pharmacies as well as to a pharmacy book from the late 16th century. Visitors can also see, smell and touch herbal drugs and learn about drug abuse.
