We& #39;ll be sharing #PharmHist museums & collections throughout the day- & would love to see your favourites!
We have to start with @rpharms #RPS Museum as the & #39;mothership& #39; of #pharmacy museums in the UK. Founded in 1842, it has an amazing collection. More info here, including some super useful online resources https://www.rpharms.com/about-us/museum/learning-resources">https://www.rpharms.com/about-us/...
You can also find lots of #PharmHist in other medical museums including many of our friends @medicalmuseums. @RCPMuseum has the gorgeous Hoffbrand collection of English delftware drug jars https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/news/hoffbrand-collection">https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/news/hoff...
When @ScienceMuseum opened their #MedicineGalleries last year, we were thrilled by Gibson& #39;s pharmacy. There& #39;s plenty of other #PharmHist on display including a jaw-dropping medicine chest & interactives exploring medicines development today https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/medicine-wellcome-galleries">https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-d...
Although @ThackrayMuseum is currently closed, we can& #39;t wait for it to re-open to see how they& #39;ve shared their incredible collections. As well as the fab Wilkinson drug jars, they have oodles of #PharmHist material. Watch out for their new website launch: https://www.thackraymedicalmuseum.co.uk/ ">https://www.thackraymedicalmuseum.co.uk/">...
Around the country, there are lots of gorgeous pharmacy shops inside museums. One of our favourites is @MKMuseum http://www.miltonkeynesmuseum.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/the-chemist.jpg">https://www.miltonkeynesmuseum.org.uk/wp-conten...
The joy of @Twitter is that you can even follow historical pharmacists (or apothecaries in this case). @ApothecaryTrevis based @GMMedicalMuseum
The pharmacy @blistshill is perhaps most famous for its appearance in Lion TV& #39;s & #39;The Victorian Pharmacy& #39;, where it was transformed into a working shop staffed by Prof Nick Barber, Tom Quick and #RuthGoodman! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI8l56FkE6w">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
If you go further back in history, @ApothecariesLDN & its amazing 17th century hall is packed full of #PharmHist from more than 4 centuries of history & @FacultyHP runs a programme of lectures, events & courses that explore #PharmHist themes https://www.apothecaries.org/history/ ">https://www.apothecaries.org/history/&...
One of the most iconic #PharmHist locations is the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum at St Mary& #39;s Hospital, Paddington, where you can stand in the footsteps of the discoverer of penicillin

The Herb Garret @OldOpTheatre is an incredibly atmospheric place to soak up pharmacy history, from the dried medicinal plants to the medicine bottles. Their online collections explorer can be filtered to "pharmacy" - look at all of these lovely objects! https://ehive.com/objects?accountId=6025&facet=account_name_facet%3AOld+Operating+Theatre+Museum+%26+Herb+Garret%2C+London&facet=association_keyword_facet%3APharmacy">https://ehive.com/objects...
The #EconomicBotanyCollection @KewScience @KewMobileMuseum is a huge cornucopia of useful plants. Amongst cricket bats & barkcloth cloaks are many #PharmHist objects, including a large collection transferred from @rpharms
We couldn& #39;t miss out @WellcomeCollection & @WellcomeLibrary who uncover #PharmHist themes in exhibitions & events & through their huge library and archive collections!
Plus an online #PharmHist including this fab 6-part story about & #39;Pharmagraphics& #39; https://wellcomecollection.org/series/WcpOjygAAJsLEXTc">https://wellcomecollection.org/series/Wc...
