    Got there at 3.30 this afternoon, well, 3.27, only to be told they were closing in three minutes despite the website saying open til 6 and the sign out front saying open til 5.30. When we went outside again and looked at the sign and the old woman followed us and kept pointing at rhe sign, highlighting the closing time. Which said 17.30... Anyway, if you're going maybe best to go earlier in the day, just in case...

    Fascinating little museum. Sadly I had only 10 minutes to see it as the cashier decided to close 30 minutes early. Of course, she only told me that after I had already given her the money for the ticket.

    (Translated by Google) The museum is small, but it has quite interesting collections. For enthusiasts of alchemy and old pharmacy, definitely worth a visit. It is a pity that they do not have a description / guide printed in Polish (I suspect that the Poles visiting this place a lot, and the contribution to translation would be small). (Original) Muzeum niewielkie, jednak posiada całkiem ciekawe zbiory. Dla pasjonatów alchemii i dawnej farmacji zdecydowanie warte odwiedzenia. Wielka szkoda, że nie posiadają opisu/ przewodnika drukowanego w języku polskim (podejrzewam, że Polaków odwiedzających to miejsce sporo, a wkład w przetłumaczenie byłby niewielki).

  • 3/5 Christopher B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice exhibits, but very small for a "museum". We really hoped for more. Everything you can see on site can already be seen online at Google. At least it was not too expensive. With 800 HUF admission is really very cheap. (Original) Schöne Austellungsstücke, jedoch sehr klein für ein "Museum". Wir hatten uns wirklich mehr erhofft. Alles was es vor Ort zu sehen gibt, sieht man auch schon online bei Google. Wenigstens war es nicht allzu teuer. Mit 800 HUF ist der Eintritt ja nun auch wirklich sehr preiswert.

    (Translated by Google) Lovingly furnished and honorary museum of the history of pharmacy. The Golden Eagle was the city's first pharmacy. You could also call it a witch's kitchen. The small museum belongs to the Semmelweism Museum for medical history. If you visit both, be sure to pick up the admission ticket and show it, you get a discount. (Original) Liebevoll eingerichtetes und ehrenamtlich geführtes Museum der Pharmaziegeschichte. Der Goldene Adler war die erste Apotheke der Stadt. Man könnte es auch eine hexenküche nennen. Das kleine Museum gehört zum Semmelweismuseum für Medizingeschichte. Wenn man beide besucht, unbedingt Eintrittskarte aufheben und vorzeigen, man bekommt Rabatt.

  • 4/5 Nick B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great to see this place has reopened. Brilliant little exhibition of the weird and wonderful history of medicine with bizarre artefacts from pharmacies across the country. Stand outs include the box of mummy powder and the mock-up of the pharmacists ‘lab’ with skulls and hanging taxidermied creatures.

  • 4/5 Ricardo Mena M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very curious place, especially to learn about the origins and some history of the pharmacy and a bit of alchemy. It is small but all very careful and the owner, a character who accompanies you throughout the visit making comments. It has a slight touch of witch, positively speaking. (Original) Un sitio muy curioso, sobre todo para conocer los orígenes y algo de historia de la farmacia y un poco de la alquimia. Es pequeño pero todo muy cuidado y la dueña, todo un personaje que te acompaña toda la visita haciéndote comentarios. Tiene un ligero toque de bruja, hablando positivamente.

  • 5/5 Zsuzska T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wow, I highly recommend it. The place is interesting and the Lady who led us through is a real treasure, her style, voice and tale are just right for the place 😊 (Original) Hú, nagyon ajánlom. Érdekes a hely és a Hölgy aki végigvezetett minket igazi kincs, pont jól illet a stílusa, hangja, meséje a helyhez 😊

    (Translated by Google) Nice little museum, with great attention to detail. Centrally located & a cheap entrance fee (500 forints). There is an information sheet, in different languages, at the entrance to explain the individual rooms. (Original) Schönes kleines Museum, mit viel Liebe zum Detail.

  • 5/5 Beatrix J S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Extremely interesting collection. A real surprise is the alchemist workshop inside! (Original) Rendkívül érdekes gyűjtemény. Igazi meglepetés a belül rejtőző alkimista műhely!

  • 5/5 andrea l. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small gem in a place where there are more important and perhaps neglected wonders. Very interesting museum, furnished with objects that faithfully recreate the atmosphere of the old "shop" (Original) Piccola chicca in un posto dove ci sono meraviglie più importanti e forse per questo trascurata. Museo molto interessante, arredato con oggetti che ricostruiscono fedelmente l'atmosfera della vecchia "bottega"

  • 5/5 Monika �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tiny (2 rooms) tour takes about 15 minutes. History of medicine, pharmacy, alchemy and science. For me enlightening, certainly worth seeing. (Original) Maličké (2 miestnosti), prehliadka zaberie cca 15 minút. História medicíny, farmácie, alchýmie a vedy. Pre mňa poučné, určite sa oplatí vidieť.

  • 5/5 Ania Jarek K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very interesting place. (Original) Bardzo ciekawe miejsce.

  • 4/5 Michael G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Christopher Börner's and Katja Trautmann's reviews are all in the spotlight: a very small, lovingly designed museum with interesting exhibits for a low admission price. For a small additional charge you may also take pictures. If you're on the castle hill anyway, definitely worth a visit. In addition, the pharmacy museum in comparison to the ant hill of Fischerbastei is pleasantly crowded. A very soothing contrast for us. (Original) Christopher Börners und Katja Trautmanns Rezensionen treffen´s auf den Punkt: Ein sehr kleines, liebevoll gestaltetes Museum mit interessanten Ausstellungsstücken zu einem günstigen Eintrittspreis. Gegen einen wiederum geringen Aufpreis darf man auch Fotos machen. Wenn man ohnehin auf dem Burgberg ist, lohnt sich ein Besuch definitiv. Zudem das Apothekenmuseum im Vergleich zu dem Ameisenhügel von Fischerbastei angenehm menschenmassenleer ist. Ein für uns sehr sehr wohltuender Kontrast.

  • 5/5 Gaston D. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a very small museum which lasts only about 20 minutes and is inexpensive around € 2 per person. In addition, the free guided tour was offered by a woman in French. So don't hesitate to go there! (Original) C'est un très petit musée qui dure seulement 20 minutes environ et ne coûte pas cher environ 2€par personne. De plus la visite guidée gratuite à été proposée par une femme en Français. Donc n'hésitez pas à y aller !

  • 4/5 Stefanie S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Little but pretty. A thorough collection ... You can see all the objects well ordered. Voucher x for the price (Original) Chiquito pero bonito. Una colección minuciosa ... Se logra ver todos los objetos bien ordenado. Vale x por el precio

  • 3/5 Gabriela B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Extremely small. Entering, we have in front of us more than half of the exhibits at our disposal. As a person with a chemical education I was quite fortified especially with an age-old autoclave, but it does not change the fact that the tour took us 10 minutes with accurate reading in English (they do not provide Polish). If you have a busy schedule in sightseeing, you can easily miss a visit. (Original) Niezmiernie małe. Wchodząc do środka mamy przed sobą od razu na naszych oczach ponad połowę eksponatów, którymi dysponuje muzeum. Jako osoba z wykształceniem chemicznym dość się zafiksowałam zwłaszcza wiekowym autoklawem, ale nie zmienia to faktu że zwiedzanie zajęło nam 10 minut z dokładnym czytaniem w języku angielskim (polskiego nie udostępniają). Jeżeli macie napięty grafik w zwiedzaniu to spokojnie można sobie darować wizytę.

  • 5/5 Marek �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I recommend. It's not a big museum, but interesting (Original) Odporucam. Nie je to velke muzeum, ale zaujimave

  • 3/5 Benedek B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not a bad place anyway, but it is small enough, and you can't even go in for some, though maybe (I) would like it the best. I wouldn't add anything else, so I recommend the visit, not one day, of course, max. 30-60 minutes. (Original) Nem rossz hely egyébként, de elég kicsi, sőt egy részére nem lehet bemenni, pedig talán (nekem) az tetszett volna a legjobban. Egyebet nem fűznék hozzá, azért ajánlom az idelátogatást, persze nem egy napra, max. 30-60 percre.

  • 5/5 Péter T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are many beautiful old tools available here: a real "witch-kitchen" is worth seeing, the distillers will be attracted by all brandy-makers (Original) Sok szép régi patikaeszköz van itt kiállítva: valóságos "boszorkánykonyha" érdemes megnézni, a desztillátort minden pálinkafőző megirigyelné
