Adamova lékárna, Art Nouveau pharmacy in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic.

Adamova lékárna is a five-storey row house at Václavské náměstí 8, with a pharmacy on the ground floor. Its main front is split in two: the right part has vaulted pharmacy entrances and, on the second floor, a curved bay carried by atlantes and topped by a terrace, above which rise an oval Art Nouveau arcade and a glazed studio tower. Gothic cellars and much of the ground floor survive from earlier buildings.

The present five-storey building was built in 1911–1912 by Matěj Blecha's construction firm, with the facade designed by Emil Králíček, on the site of two older houses whose Gothic cellars and much of the ground floor survive. The pharmacy itself was founded in 1520 and keeps its original shelving. The city also required the yard behind the building to be reworked, and Králíček placed a Cubist lamp there.

The pharmacy in the ground floor was founded in 1520 and still keeps its original shelving. The house's name, Adamova lékárna, refers to this pharmacy. The facade combines historical elements of the lower floors with Art Nouveau, Cubism and Modernism, and the interior holds vases shaped like massive crystals.

The pharmacy entrance is on the right side of the ground floor at Václavské náměstí 8, under vaulted openings; the original shelves stand inside. The rear facade faces Jungmannovo náměstí, where the cubist lamp by Emil Králíček now stands on a paved pedestrian area.

The pharmacy's ground-floor fittings include shelving that dates from the original 1520 establishment, preserved in place. Behind the building, on the paved pedestrian zone, stands the cubist lamp Emil Králíček designed when the city required the old wall and paving to be repaired alongside the 1911–1912 construction.
