Pharmacy Museum

The Pharmacy Museum is housed in an old wooden building and displays a complete pharmacy from 1858 with work areas, storage rooms, and spaces for herb processing. The location shows the daily work of pharmacists from that period with all their necessary equipment and furnishings.

The building itself dates back to the 18th century and was the home of a notable Finnish physician. The museum was founded in 1958 to preserve the history of pharmacies and their evolution.

The museum shows how pharmacists worked in the past and what tools they used. The displayed items tell the story of old healing methods and the importance of herbs in medicine.

The museum has varying opening hours each day and is easy to reach by public transportation. Plan your visit in advance and check current opening times and admission costs beforehand.

The courtyard offers a special play area during summer months where children can discover the work of pharmacists in a hands-on way. This gives young visitors a practical insight into historical healing professions.
