Located in an historical building dated 1569 where one of the oldest pharmacy in country was.
Samuel Hohnemann (1755-1843) invented homeopathy and developed his treatment in the basement of this house. Some of his phials and plans are on display.
The exhibition is organized on the structure of a classical pharmacy that includes two laboratories, one homeopathic sector and a documentation sector. It contains over 6000 ancient medical instruments and dispensing tools from the time when Sibiu had more chemists' than anywhere else in Transylvania.
At the front, a reconstructed shop is decked out with wooden counters and stacks of glass jars creating the atmosphere of an 18C apotek. The furniture is Viennese.
Very important is the collection of pharmaceutics jars made of wood with painted marks.
