  • Nice small museum. I specially enjoyed the old house part, the pharmacy part of the museum left me a little bit confused and I would have liked to see more information about the pharmacy in that part....  more

  • Cheap to visit, small but full of stuff (it's two museums in one) and the adjancent cafe is wonderful (try their pies!).

  • Loved this place. The museum is fantastic, easy to navigate and very interesting. There is a map for adults and children to follow with fun little activities, which can also be used by adults ☺️
  • Very unique museum. If you're interested in pharmaceuticals, and the history of them, I would recommend you to go there. Staff was very friendly!
  • Absolutely delightful~ So in-depth, you can get lost in every room for eternity and that's even before you enter the museum side. The incredibly well-preserved pieces of history work well in conjunction with each other, making the experience well worth it. As someone who doesn't usually buy anything from gift shops, the items there are very in touch with the theme of the place, so an extra credit for that one as well for making me give in to temptation. The quality of items is greater in many places as well :)
  • Small well conserved museum. Held in an old wealthy family house. It has never been a pharmacy but it was fully recreated with donations from many pharmacies in Finland. They have even built a whole dispensary. There are discounts for students and lockers. The visit is shot and worth it.
  • Nice experience. Something to do with Luostarinmaki if you want to discover the old times of Finland. I think they could improve the experience with more interactive screens like in the first room to get descriptions about the objects in the different rooms of the museum.
