VIEKŠNIAI PHARMACY MUSEUM

Museums

Viekšniai Pharmacy Museum is an unparalleled village-type pharmacy museum in Lithuania, with preserved living quarters of the pharmacist family as well as the entire history of the pharmacy handwritten by the pharmacist himself. The pharmaceutical exposition features not only 19th century pharmacy furniture and tools for the production of medicines, but also utensils and pharmaceutical raw materials (parts of crayfish, Siberian beaver glands). The museum has a restored herb garden of several acres, where various educational and practical activities take place, and medicinal and herbal plants are grown. The uniqueness of the garden is revealed through herbs of all sizes–from the smallest herbs to bushes, and even large lime trees.
