The pharmacy museum in Weißenburg , a large district town in the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen , shows a pharmacy facility from the end of the 19th century. It is housed in the vaulted cellar of the Blue House on Rosenstrasse , where the Einhorn pharmacy is still located today.
The collection shows the furnishings of the unicorn pharmacy from the 19th century, and there are also older exhibits. In the laboratory, the production of suppositories, powders, tablets and ointments is explained. Alembic, glassware, pill tray and pill mortar complete the equipment. Utensils for the production and distribution of mineral water and fizzy drinks are also exhibited . In addition, there is an off- press from the Wilhelminian era, a herb and material chamber and an extensive handwritten collection of recipes from the 19th century that were found during renovation work in the house.
