No furnishings have remained in this tenement house which has been restored mainly in the Renaissance style.

With due emphasis on the job of a pharmacist and on the role of pharmacies as places of professional training, drug preparation and distribution, as well as drug research, the museum exhibition has been organized around the evolution and development of pharmaceutical sciences in the context of past medical disciplines and realities.
