THE PHARMACY MUSEUM
January 15, 2024, from 17:00 p.m
Dear lovers of history and cultural heritage,
With great joy, the National History Museum of Transylvania invites you to participate in a special event: the inauguration of the Pharmacy Museum, which will take place on Monday, January 15, 2024, from 17:00 p.m., in the heart of Cluj-Napoca.
The Pharmacy Museum, a treasure trove of medical and pharmaceutical history, reopens its doors after a period of renovation and expansion. This oasis of knowledge houses over 7000 objects authentic, which tell the story of the evolution of pharmacy and medicine in Transylvania. We will guide you through the galleries where you will be able to admire old medical equipment and precious artefacts, which reflect the attitude towards health and illness throughout the centuries. Our venue, the Hintz House, with unique 18th century pharmaceutical settings, is the ideal space to explore this fascinating segment of history. We will take you through the officina, the room where the products were sold, the material room, the laboratory and other spaces that recreate the atmosphere of a traditional pharmacy.
We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating together this important moment in the history of the museum and our city.
Respectfully,
The team of the National History Museum of Transylvania
