New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, Historical pharmacy museum in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.

The two-story building contains numerous exhibits featuring historical pharmaceutical devices, medical instruments, and antique apothecary bottles from the 19th century.

Louis Dufilho Jr, the first licensed pharmacist in America, established this pharmacy in 1823, marking a turning point in regulated pharmaceutical practices.

The collection includes artifacts related to traditional Creole medicine and local healing practices, reflecting New Orleans' rich medical traditions.

The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of $10 for self-guided tours and $20 for guided experiences.

A preserved Italian marble soda fountain from 1855 stands in the museum, demonstrating how pharmacies served both medical and social functions.
