Antonina Leśniewska Museum of Pharmacy, History museum in Śródmieście, Poland.
This history museum occupies a historic residential building and displays an extensive collection of pharmaceutical objects spanning different periods. The building itself dates to earlier centuries and houses exhibition rooms containing equipment, containers, and furniture that document how pharmacy practice evolved over time.
The museum was established in 1985 and named after a pioneering pharmacist who founded the first pharmacy staffed entirely by women professionals. This founding honored her groundbreaking role in Warsaw's pharmaceutical history and recognized her contribution to the profession.
The reconstructed 1930s pharmacy interior shows how pharmacists worked and what materials they used in their daily practice. Walking through this space gives you a direct sense of how a Polish pharmacy functioned during that era.
