    The Pharmacy Museum in Kraków offers visitors an interesting look into the history of pharmacy and medicine. Located in a historic building on Floriańska Street, it spans several floors and houses a large collection of pharmaceutical artifacts. Many visitors appreciate the well-preserved antique pharmacy interiors, including old wooden cabinets, jars, and equipment. The museum showcases the evolution of pharmaceutical practices from medieval times to the early 20th century.

    Positive aspects mentioned by visitors include the museum's extensive collection, which features old medical instruments, pharmacy tools, and medicinal ingredients. The recreated historical pharmacies from different periods are often highlighted as impressive. Some reviewers also note the informative displays and the opportunity to learn about the development of medical knowledge over time.

    However, some visitors find the museum to be somewhat cramped, especially during busy times. A few reviewers mention that more detailed explanations in English would enhance the experience for international visitors, as some exhibits have limited translations. Additionally, the steep stairs between floors can be challenging for those with mobility issues.

    Overall, the Pharmacy Museum provides an educational experience for those interested in medical history, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its specialized focus.
