Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum
Would you consume human skull to cure your epilepsy? Have you ever seen a unicorn horn? Would you rub the grease of a dead bear on your head?
From Ancient Greek medical theories, to a rare penicillin culture vessel; from a mummified hand to the fastest selling drug in the world. All of these and more can be found in this collection of over 45,000 objects including a beautiful collection of English delftware drug storage jars amongst which is the oldest known dated piece.
The Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's own web pages may be found on the RPSGB website at http://www.rpsgb.org.uk/informationresources/museum/
The Museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain also features in our Learning section.
