Fantastic must-visit museum for all who are curious about the progress of medicine during the last centuries. The visit is enriched by the guide's magnificent explanations, which reveal his extensive knowledge and passion for the place. Visit highly recommended. Obrigado !!!

If you are a lover of art and if you are a health professional, you will know how to value this museum as it deserves. The state of conservation of the pieces is magnificent. In it you can find old x-ray machines, tables of optotypes, the molds to make suppositories and capsules, a wide and varied medical / pharmaceutical instruments and an old shelf with bottles of old apothecary. The staff is attentive and friendly, they explain what they know and they accompany you to help you. The museum is free and little traveled, it's worth spending

O Museu da Farmácia fica no antigo hospital da cidade, chamado Hospital Grande de Nossa Senhora da Piedade ou Hospital da Misericórdia, e foi mandado construir em 1490 por D. Manuel I. Neste espaço é possível ver mobiliário do antigo hospital, instrumentos médicos, frascos com os nomes dos reagentes e utensílios para produção os fármacos, imagens de anatomia, entre outros objetos e instrumentos necessários para cuidar dos doentes. É pequeno, mas vale a visita. Este local é da responsabilidade da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Beja.

It's very small but very nice.
