The Eagle Pharmacy Museum, Holocaust memorial museum in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland
The Eagle Pharmacy is a museum housed in a former pharmacy building at Bohaterów Getta Square in the Podgórze district, displaying original medical equipment, documents, and photographs from World War II. The rooms preserve the character of the location and present objects that tell the story of this particular institution during German occupation.
A pharmacy opened at this location in 1933 and remained open until 1945 during the occupation, with the pharmacist providing medical assistance and support. The location became a critical resource for the Jewish community in the ghetto and holds a distinct historical place in memories of that period.
The exhibits reveal how people in the ghetto tried to maintain health and dignity through access to medicines and care, showing the role of this pharmacy as a lifeline for the community.
Access is available from Monday through Sunday, though opening hours vary by day of the week. It is recommended to check exact times before visiting and allow enough time to explore the exhibits thoroughly.
This location was the only pharmacy operating within the ghetto boundaries and also served as a contact point between the confined population and the world beyond. This dual role makes it a particularly significant witness to both medical care and stories of resistance and survival.
