Whilst in Tallinn's old town square visit the old apothecary which is housed bang opposite the town hall. It really is a living museum with exhibits of medieval apothecary practice and also housing present day medical needs. Good view of the townhall from the windows too.

Tripped up and sprained by ankle while walking around Tallinn. So needed some bandages and pain killers and found this amazing place. A pharmacy that looked to be straight out of the nineteenth century. redolent with history, yet was still able to provide all the modern medical aids I needed.

Not a great deal to see, apart from a wonderful interior and some medical displays, but it's worth a visit, especially if there aren't too many people in there.

Working pharmacy which doubles up as a museum. Interesting exhibits of old "medicine"/ treatments from times gone by. Free to enter and can be see in as little as a 5-20mins. Still designed in it's old style. Just off the town square.

My husband found this particularly interesting, small but worth the visit - a little hidden and not obvious so you need to look for it.

The apothecary is, frankly, nothing exciting, but the fact that something this old is still operating as a combination apothecary/museum merits an extra star. It is only a two-room museum, and, according to my understanding, they do not sell prescription drugs, but merely over-the-counter type items (aspirin, etc.) In ten minutes you will have seen everything the apothecary has to...

Yes, it's an old building, and yes, it's both a museum and still operational, but for some reason I was expecting the possibility to buy some old chool medicine. Didn't find much, shame to say.

This pharmacy has been operating in the same premises for a over a hundred years, very interesting museum too. It still functions as a pharmacy to this day.

Not a lot to see in here but an interesting glimpse into the past. Fantastic old heater in between the old glass cases. Look out for the shelves of ancient 'ingredient', it could be from Hogwarts.
