In this reconstructed interior of an interwar pharmacy, find glass vials and beakers, wooden furnishings, period advertisements and vintage pharmaceutical equipment.



Learn stories of medicines, poisons, and narcotics, as well as Japanese Kampo medicine, and learn about one of the world's first female pharmacists – Antonina Leśniewska. A nice but wonderful space, the museum also offers workshops on the healing properties of plants, and gives visitors a chance to make their own scented waters from essential oils!



A branch of the Museum of Warsaw, the museum is named after Antonina Leśniewska - a groundbreaking female pharmacist and Warsaw native who lived between 1866 and 1937. Leśniewska not only became the first female Master of Pharmacy in Russia (back when Poland was partitioned between European powers), but also founded her own pharmacy in Saint Petersburg, employing and training other women, and campaigned for women's rights in general.
