    (Translated by Google) The oldest, working pharmacy, which is also a museum. Various items related to pharmacy are on display (Original) Най-старата, работеща аптека, която междувременно е и музей. Еспонирани са различни предмети свързани с фармацията

    Das herausgeputzte Apotheken-Museum ist eine Augenweide. Beim Spaziergang durch die Stadt sollt man nicht daran vorbeigehen.

    (Translated by Google) A wonderful museum. One of many, I believe 35, mostly small museums in Havana. We have visited most of them. It is a drugstore museum and many references to the name Sarra can be found in the street. I think the name of the original drugstore and also the name of a catering company across the street. Also recommended, because of the freshly squeezed drinks. (Original) Een prachtig museum. Een van de vele, ik meen 35, vooral kleine musea in Havana. De meeste hebben we bezocht. Het is een drogisterij museum en in de straat zijn veel verwijzingen naar de naam Sarra terug te vinden. Volgens mij de naam van de oorspronkelijke drogisterij en ook de naam van een horecabedrijf aan de overkant. Ook een aanrader, vanwege de vers geperste drankjes.

    Spectacular, you should visit it even if you are not going to buy anything, a very very old pharmacy, recommended for taking photos

    Oh, the glory that was once Habana! 60 years ago the city must have been a sparkling jewel, but has fallen into a really sad state of decrepitude. An exception is this lovely little nugget, lovingly restored and maintained, with relics of old fashioned pharmacy and medicine. The museum is small, and 20-30 minutes there allows you to see all of the exhibits. A very nice lady asked me for a voluntary donation, and I gladly contributed.

    Stunning historical pharmacy, worth a visit if you're around!

    I'm giving this 5 stars because it is a beautiful place with an unmatched collection of ceramic pharmacy vessels...and surprisingly, it is an active pharmacy as they had a little box that they were selling basics like ibuprofen out of (love the quirkiness of Cuba!). However, if you are expecting a real museum with lots of information, this is not it...it could be, but sadly it is just a well-preserved store. Perhaps one day when more investment floods into Cuba, they will do more with this place, but then, that would not be the real Cuba, would it? Do stop, but don't expect to be informed or entertained (if ever in New Orleans, definitely go to their Pharmacy museum as it is amazing).
