The first private pharmacy in the city was opened in 1728 by the German pharmacist Johann Geiter, but it went down in history as a "Bunge pharmacy" (named after Geiter's son-in-law). In 1986, the pharmacy was restored in the surviving building, an exposition of the history of pharmacology and pharmacy was opened. The museum displays utensils for preparing herbal mixtures, various jars and glasses for medicines, ancient recipes, tools of pharmacists of past centuries, alcoholic snakes and crabs and many other interesting things. In the basement of the museum there are installations - the basement of the alchemist and the house of the sorceress. Here you can buy fragrant handmade soap.
