Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy — Attraction in Kaunas

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 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.

I recommend to visit this museum for anyone who is in Kaunas. Undoubtedly...

A must see for everyone interested in the subjects of history, pharmacy or medicine. It is one of the most interesting museums I've seen covering that subject.

The musuem has a full reconstruction of a pharmacy of the 19th-20th century. Along with that, they have a display of belongings of prominent Lithuanian doctors, old X-ray equipment as well as a dental treatment workstation. Informative, interactive and without doubt...
