This is a delightful museum. Lots of wacky old medical techniques. Two stories of museum exhibits. You’ll leave knowing a couple fun facts. The gift shop had some fun souvenirs.

A fascinating and occasionally disturbing connection of medical tools and practices. Absolutely should stop in if you're in the area!

Questions & Answers

Who had a perfume shop in this location before it became Pharmacy Museum? I’m 82 and recall it as a small child.

There is an old perfume shop just up from the pharmacy at 434 Chartres. Perhaps that is what you are remembering. Hope that helps.

Didn't they kill far more people than they helped???

They explain the whole history of both themselves as well as Pharmacys as a whole. It's very fascinating.

That is the honest truth- I think the transition changing the name happen either before Katrina or after. -

It's not on a ghost tour that I know of. I do agree with Brittany, you can feel something upstairs and more near the stairs to the 3rd floor (off limits, though)

Probably not everywhere, the first floor would still be interesting, but there is a narrow staircase to the second floor.
