The right kind of museum for me! A mini-Wellcome trust with cool artefacts. The pharmacies are just stunning. I really liked the timelines too!

I felt some sections needed a bit more detail, for example, the part on Africa felt very general and had no references, the same for South America (although there were dedicated descriptions to the Incas, Mayas and Aztecs.)

I hope that the museum can grow and include more information from the 21st century such as increasing access to vaccinations, the COVID pandemic and issues such as patents in the world of medicines. The prices differ for guided tour versus self-guided. Guided must be booked in advance. See photos. I really liked the portable pharmacy artefact!

The museum is wheelchair accessible.

Most writing is in Portuguese which can be inconvenient for some - the use of Google Lens to translate can help. Nevertheless, the individual artefacts’ names are translated.

Recommend visit time : around 30 minutes, more if want to reach each...

As a pharmacy student, visiting the Pharmacy Museum in Porto was an absolute highlight. I was fascinated by the rich history of medicines, apothecaries, and global healing traditions on display. The exhibits were beautifully curated, offering a glimpse into pharmacy’s evolution across cultures and centuries. I especially loved the Egyptian and traditional Portuguese sections. It was both inspiring and educational — a must-visit for anyone in healthcare or with a curiosity about the roots of modern medicine. Most of the descriptions are in Portugese naturally, but scanning the QR code before entering helps to connect to a video that explains the displays, again it’s in Portugese however the translation was in written English...

Gostaria de felicitar o Museu da Farmácia do Porto, pelo seu fantástico espólio, e pela surpresa da visita que faculta! O Museu disponibiliza uma estimulante "viagem" ao longo de 5000 anos de história da saúde. A sua grandiosa coleção congrega peças de invulgar valor antropológico, científico, e artístico. É possível sair da exposição com a sensação de que se efetuou uma verdadeira viagem pela história da saúde da humanidade. A cereja no topo do bolo deste magnífico Museu: É possível entrar numa exuberante Farmácia Islâmica, com origem no Império Otomano e que integrava o interior de um palácio em Damasco no século XIX; e visualizar o interior da bela Farmácia Estácio, outrora localizava na Rua Sá da Bandeira, no Porto, e que felizmente teve a sorte de ser resgatada antes de ser desmantelada, para poder ainda hoje ser apreciada. Para finalizar gostaria de felicitar o seu Diretor Dr. João Neto, com quem tive o privilégio de integrar uma Visita-guiada, pela sua relação de proximidade com os visitantes, e o seu delicioso sentido de humor! Muitos Parabéns! :) Gostaria de dar uma sugestão. Muito gostaria de ver este tão interessante Museu numa localização mais central, quem sabe instalado num edifício ou palacete mais antigo da Cidade, num desses que ainda se encontra devoluto a aguardar...

The museum is smaller than the one in Lisabon, however I'd definitely recommend you to visit it if you go to Porto. The museum has a little bit for everybody. Even if you're not a pharmacist you can still learn some interesting facts and see some cool artifacts.
