Pharmacy Museum Bressanone
The Pharmaziemuseum Brixen (PMB) is a museum of the history of pharmacy , which is located in the Adlerbrückengasse in Brixen (South Tyrol, Italy). It has existed since 2002.
The exhibition area is 150 m² and is spread over four rooms. The exhibits are from daily pharmacy operations and go back more than 400 years. These include decorative pendants such as the head of an armadillo or a piece of Egyptian mummy, as well as gold-plated pills. Information is also provided about historical medicines, such as plasters coated with ox bile or sugar- coated woodlice (against fever), but also about today's products.
The work in the pharmaceutical laboratory and the instruments of the pharmacist are also shown. Furthermore, an insight is given into the life of a family that has been a pharmacist for many generations.
The museum also has a library with pharmaceutical works spanning several centuries. In addition to simply looking at the exhibited objects, the museum also focuses on interactivity.
The museum is privately run by the Recipe association .
