Pharmacy Museum — Attraction in Riga

A very large and very interesting museum displaying farmaceutical practice from the 1800s to the 1970s. Extremely niche - but thats what I love! Helpful staff explains and shows you around. The ticket is 2€, so basically you need to consider this to your visit. The museum could easily have improved and modernized their displays a tad, but it was so relaxing walking around a museum that have had no digitalization attempt! Give it a go - it costs you less than a coffee on the nearby...

Small yet quite interesting museum of old pharmacological instruments, books ,plants, etc The staff are helpful and explain everything in a simple and funny way that gets everyone engaged. There’re many rooms you can’t enter and things you can’t touch ,but it’s understandable because they’re valuable, old and fragile. You can find English translation almost on everything. English, Russian and Latvian brochures...

A good museum. I was a little let down with some of it as I believe my expectations were slightly higher. It also does not accommodate English speakers very well as nothing was labeled in English. I would probably take a guided tour if I were to do it again. What was neat was the medieval/witch vibe you got with the live actor in the basement. Not to mention the tickets...
