When Pharmacies Become Workshops of Knowledge
The special exhibition Who Invented It? Perhaps a Pharmacist! opens the perspective on the remarkable role of pharmacy as a driver of scientific and technical innovation. At the Brandenburg Pharmacy Museum in Cottbus, visitors encounter an exhibition that connects research history, everyday culture, and inventive spirit into an impressive artistic experience of knowledge.
Pharmacies as Laboratories of Modernity
The presentation takes visitors through three centuries of discoveries that emerged from pharmaceutical practice. Beet sugar, soda water, morphine, early gas lighting, UHU glue, and Chlorodont toothpaste not only represent technical advances but also a culture of observation, experimentation, and precise working. The exhibition makes visible how closely intertwined the history of science and material culture are.

The Brandenburg Pharmacy Museum showcases historical pharmacy spaces, original furnishings, tools, and containers that focus on the working world of past centuries. It is particularly in the connection of spatial impact, light, and authentic objects that a special exhibition atmosphere unfolds. Those who take a serious look at the works discover not just exhibits but traces of craftsmanship, research, and social change.
Science to Touch, Education with Depth
The special exhibition targets visitors interested in art and culture as well as those who enjoy natural sciences and museum education. It conveys how pharmacies served for generations as places of collecting, mixing, testing, and inventing. The view into the everyday dimension of great innovations is particularly exciting: many developments that seem taken for granted today began in a historical pharmacy laboratory.
