When the Pharmacy Becomes a Laboratory of Progress
The special exhibition "Who Invented It? Maybe a Pharmacist!" at the Brandenburg Pharmacy Museum Cottbus leads into a surprising history of scientific and technical discoveries. It focuses on developments that originated from pharmaceutical research, keen observation, and experimental inventiveness.
Between Herbs, Chemistry, and Technical Innovation
The exhibition connects the history of pharmacy with everyday culture and the history of science. Featured are, among others, sugar beets, soda water, the isolation of morphine, early gas lighting systems, UHU glue, and Chlorodont toothpaste. The exhibits show how closely historical pharmacies were linked to laboratory work, industrial development, and modern everyday products.
A Study of Work with Historical Depth
The Brandenburg Pharmacy Museum is located in the former Löwen Pharmacy and conveys the working world of a pharmacy around 1850. Historical rooms, pharmaceutical devices, containers, and materials create an authentic exhibition atmosphere. The aesthetic experience arises from the interplay of forms, glass, wood, metal, herbs, and traces of craftsmanship.
Cultural Education in the Historical Pharmacy Museum
The exhibition is suitable for those interested in painting, sculpture, and installation as well as in the history of technology, pharmacy, and cultural education. As a presentation of historical objects, it offers a unique perspective on inventions and makes visible how socially influential innovations arose from observation, formulation, and practical application.
