"Under the Black Eagle" Pharmacy Museum

historic pharmacy

4.6

Housed in Ukraine's oldest continuously operating pharmacy (established 1735), this museum in Lviv offers a fascinating walk through apothecary history. The pharmacy still dispenses medicines today while its back rooms serve as a museum. "Under the Black Eagle" is translated from "Під Чорним Орлом (Pid Chornym Orlom)."
