German Pharmacy Museum

It’s not very big, but it’s full of fascinating displays including but not limited to old jars, herbal remedies, antique tools and entire reconstructed apothecary shops. It gave me a real sense of how medicine was prepared centuries ago. I loved how detailed everything was and it made me appreciate how far science has come while still being connected to old traditions. If you are already at the castle, it’s definitely worth stepping inside. Quite informative & unique.

I found this museum very interesting as it traces the history of medicine through the ages. It's a small and well organized museum. There is verbiage that guides you though the history. It's housed inside the Heidelberg castle. The crowd management is good

The museum is quite small so there's a traffic light system at the entrance in an attempt to keep it from overcrowding but, in my experience, it didn't work. Perhaps people just ignore it. I found it far too packed inside to see even a fraction of all the interesting exhibits, let alone stop to read the labels. A shame, because it's a really well curated museum and fascinating subject.

This is museum, that you can find in the Heidelberg castle. It has a couple big rooms, where you can find a lot of shelves with apothecary glass. It interesting. But it is a pity that you can’t buy some glass like in museum. Only one bottle there was.

No additional ticket required - it is included in the 9 Euro entry ticket. It was very interesting to see the history and evolution of medicine in the region. Would have been great if the information was in other foreign languages. You can also buy some unique products there

Fascinating This is a little jewel of a museum in the grounds of the Schloss Heidelberg (included in the Schloss entry fee). The displays were beautiful, and there was a lot of fascinating historical information (in both English and German) about the evolution of apothecaries and development of the pharmaceutical industry.

One of the world's most famous pharmacy museums, located within Heidelberg Castle. In this museum, you can see various types of stone mortars, old precision scales, and a wide range of old drugs and pharmaceutical equipment. To visit this museum, the castle entrance ticket is sufficient, and no additional ticket is required.

A nice little museum in the territory of the Heidelberg palace. There's no need to buy a ticket - the price is included in the palace ticket. There are informational stands in two languages which is convenient. The exhibits are unique and interesting, I especially liked the plant-based exhibits. The bottles and flasks used for medicine and ingredient storage were beautiful!

Located in the Heidelberg Castle, this is a good place to visit if you're in the medical field. It's included in the entrance fee if you go to the castle courtyard. It gives a background of pharmacy and of how it evolved in Germany. Has some artifacts set up in it and good English translations in it as well. It's a neat thing to see if you have the chance and are visiting the castle anyway!
