Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy

A relatively small, but very interesting museum, in an old building that perfectly adds to the atmosphere of the exhibition. Here you can see old medical and dental instruments and tools, as well as pharmacology equipment, from the ancient times of Lithuania up until the 20th century. However, be aware that some human remains (like skulls) are also presented among the exhibits. I think this is necessary in a scientific museum of this kind, but I'm writing it just in case some people are sensitive or may find it offensive, for whatever reason. The staff was very friendly, they guided me through the various rooms, and explained what to expect to see in each one of them. Each room is equipped with a catalogue of exhibits, available in various languages. The ticket price at the moment of writing (July 2024) is €2.00, which I think is great value for money. Be aware, though, that one can pay only in cash. There is also a short brochure available both in Lithuanian and English, for free. It's sad, though, that there is no museum catalogue/ book available. That's something I'd liked to see in a future visit :)

Interesting place and exhibition with authentic pieces, nice and helpful staff. You can find most of the information also in German and English there.

Very educational. A lot of ancient tolls and health machines.

Algis and Yolanata were v helpful in our tour. We visited the museum with my family and was surprised to see the history and how far medicine has come through.! Very well presented pictures and descriptions on the history and also surprised to see that couple of equipments work till date

The most interesting museum I have ever been to. Just after coming in authentic building and friendly personnel meets you. Lots of exhibits dating from 1000 years old till ones of 20th century. The cost is also ridiculously low. Just 1€ for students and 2€ for adults. During the visit I was constantly narrated about history of medice and pharmycy which was much more interesting, than just reading information tables. Also even thought I am not pharmasist or doctor the museum managed to really engage me with lots of bizarre facts and stories. Truly big thanks for the dedicated staff. I recommend to visit this museum for anyone who is in Kaunas. Undoubtedly one of a kind.

This little museum is very interesting. It's set up like an old pharmacy, with the customer facing shop, the area where medications were made, as well as medical instruments and chairs. Though honestly, the old time fire extinguisher might have been my favorite.

For me as a pharmacy student was this place really beatufil! Exhibition looks nice and guide was amazing, she kows everything! We saw also medicine department of the museum with many gadgets. I recommed this place everyone, also not-pharmacy people.

Very interesting museum and guided tour. Museum is part of the Kaunas University of Medicine and holds large collection of medical instruments, tools, and displays. You can see also working pharmaceutical machinery and learn how the old time pills and medicines were made. In another room you can find pharmacist shop and dentist’s studio. Suosittelen kovasti kaikille joita vähänkin kiinnostaa lääketiede. Hyvin opastettu pieni museo.
