Description
The Pharmacy Museum is a cultural and scientific project that reflects the desire of Portuguese pharmacies to have an institution dedicated to the preservation, study and dissemination of the heritage and history of the pharmaceutical profession and the evolution of the health sciences.
The Pharmacy Museum has two sites, in Lisbon and Porto, and its focus is on promoting the scientific and cultural heritage associated with the evolution of healing, pain relief and the treatment of disease over the centuries.
