Farmaci- och läkemedelshistoriska museet, Pharmacy museum in Stockholm, Sweden
Farmaci- och läkemedelshistoriska museet is a museum in Stockholm dedicated to the history of pharmacies and medicines. The collection displays old bottles, prescription records, tools, and documentation spanning different periods of pharmaceutical development.
The museum was created to document how pharmacy and medicine evolved in Sweden. It traces the journey from handmade remedies to the modern pharmaceutical practices we see today.
The museum shows how pharmacies and medicines shaped daily life in Sweden over time. You can see how people once prepared and used remedies in their own homes and communities.
The museum opened in 1985 and occupies Wallingatan 24, the neighbouring property the society bought in 1958; the society's own house at number 26, designed by Peder Clason, was built in 1923–25. The address is on Norrmalm, roughly ten minutes on foot from T-Centralen metro station, near the Concert Hall and the Royal Swedish Opera.
The museum preserves rare examples of old apothecary jars and labels that reveal recipes from past centuries. These containers tell stories about the materials and methods that pharmacists once used.
