Intro

The “Pharmacy museum” contains collections of old pharmaceuticals, pharmacy furniture, laboratory utensils, ceramics, instruments, books, art- and craftwork. The museum is situated in the old house “Zum Vorderen Sessel”, where the famous humanist Erasmus and the alchemist Paracelsus once dwelled. Well worth a visit not only for specialists but also for interested laymen.

In the middle of Basel's old town is the house "zum Sessel". It was once the home and place of work of the book printer Johannes Froben and Paracelsus, Erasmus, Holbein and Dürer came and went here. The museum includes collections of ancient European and non-European medicines, amulets, laboratory utensils, magnificent ceramics, instruments, home, travel and field pharmacies, books, arts and crafts. In addition, various reconstructions of 16th and 18th century pharmaceutical laboratories and 18th and early 19th century pharmacies are on display. The Pharmacy History Museum belongs to the University of Basel and today holds one of the largest and most important collections on the history of pharmacy. The museum embodies a natural science collection of the 1920s, which has been preserved and expanded to the present day.
