Pharmacy Museum

The “Under the Black Eagle Pharmacy” opened in 1735, and is the oldest pharmacy still in business in the Ukraine. Since the 1960s it has lifted the lid on its old laboratory, library, apothecary and 13 other rooms that date back almost 300 years. The age of the building is clear as soon as you cross the threshold as the ceiling is painted with images evoking earth, water, fire and air, the body’s “four humors”. On the tour you’ll get to know the strange medicines prescribed for ailments centuries ago. There’s a big stash of historic lab equipment like presses, scales, stills and pestles and mortars, as well as cabinets laden with earthenware medicine jars and antique books going back to the 1700s.

Well beautiful and unique. Weird and historical stuff to see if you are interested in chemistry, medicine or pharmacy. However place is not very well preserved since it is old building requires more attention. Don’t expect to be satisfied intellectually but do not leave the city without seeing this museum either. You have to pay 30 Grivna to enter, you enter the place by asking to pharmacists since it is a still functioning pharmacy.

Extremely tasty burgers. I can only recommend it. Big portions with good prices.

This museum showcased weapons from the past. Very cool. Everything from swords to guns to cannons.

Great historical pharmacy where You can see old cures and get to know something about pharmacists work.
