Apothecary Shop, Historical pharmacy museum at Shelburne Museum, Vermont, US.
The Apothecary Shop contains original glass bottles, copper distilleries, and pharmaceutical equipment arranged to represent a late nineteenth-century drugstore setting.
Built in 1959, this museum building preserves artifacts from New England pharmacies that closed during the early 1900s, marking the transition to modern drugstores.
The collection displays the shift from traditional herbal remedies to patent medicines, reflecting changes in American healthcare preferences during the 1800s.
Visitors can examine nineteenth-century medical tools, labeled glass containers, and a compounding room with brick hearth during regular museum opening hours.
Red and blue liquids in window vessels symbolize arterial and venous blood, following historical pharmaceutical trade traditions.
