We visited on New Year's Eve with my husband and 2 children (aged 10 and 11) and really enjoyed this place. It was funny to queue to buy the entrance tickets (£1 for adults, 50p for children) behind Ukrainians buying Strepsils and other medicines, but this is a working chemist still. We most liked the underground tunnels and would recommend it as a worthwhile way to spend half an hour or so as part of your visit to Rynok Square.

Atmospheric place, a few rooms at the ground level and a few in the basement. Not very interesting when visiting without a guide or a person reading Ukrainian. Although the tickets are cheap so I recommend seeing it anyway. If you search you can find medicines set that were taken into space by Russian Soyuz cosmonauts.

The Pharmacy on the Market Square appeared back in 1735 and was called 'Under the Black Eagle'. Today part of it is still an operating chemist's shop, when the biggest part is a museum. 16 exhibit rooms and a general exhibition surface totalling 700 sq. m. There are more than 3,000 exhibits in the museum, when most mysterious part is its dungeons, where early 18th century's interiors are recreated.

Very odd place. Never seen such grumpy women in my life. Was it my lack of language skills? No English and no interest. Just pay and go, find your own way. No interpretive signs, just an interesting warren of rooms, stairs, dimly lit artefacts and no other tourists when I was there.
This could be so much more interesting with a few signs explaining things...

We have a pharmacy museum in Lithuania and not to see similar place in Lviv it would be a shame.
So many interesting old items, beautiful little yard, mysteriuos undergrounds of this museum and old drug store.
Museum is not big so don't be afraid that irt will take too much time. Worth to see.

Pharmacy museum was included to our subterranean of Lviv tour. So we had a guide and it was very helpful! Without guide can be boring.

This small working pharmacy is like a throw back to past times. There're so many pharmacy historical memorabilia items on display to look at, it's sometimes hard to remember that it's a "real pharmacy" too.

What can I say. It was interesting and had an atmosphere that evoked the dark days of pharmacy that had one foot in science and the other foot in medieval hocus pocus. Yet the kids loved it, and the adults enjoyed the experience. And the cost of admission was de minimis.

It's small. Very small. And it's also a normal pharmacy as well so expect some glances from the people working there as you take your pictures of the relics.
