Red Crayfish Pharmacy

The Red Crayfish Pharmacy, a baroque building dating back to the 16th century, is located in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia. Now home to the Museum of Pharmacy, it showcases three original rooms filled with historical furniture, pharmacy equipment, and Baroque paintings. Visitors can explore a rich collection of 8,500 items, including an original 1574 edition of Paracelsus's works and the earliest known Slovak pharmaceutical terminology. The pharmacy's history is intertwined with the Feldesh family, who were tragically affected by the Holocaust. This unique site offers a glimpse into the evolution of pharmacy in Slovakia and is a must-visit for tourists and researchers alike.
