This is an old pharmacy set up by a rich Cuban pharmacian and a French individual (E. Triolet).It was kept the same way as a museum since the revolution. The sign outside was removed after the revolution (not because of the electrical wires) as it was a sign of capitalism. Lots of history here and a step back in history. The owners used to live upstairs and sold the living quarters to the governments not long ago, and most likely for peanuts... (if they had peanuts in Cuba).

The oldest complete pharmacy I think anywhere. The tour cost us 3 pesos each but wow. We were there for at least an hour. The guide was very thorough and spoke good English. Everything is at it was in 1964. Look carefully at some of the products and they still exist today. Honestly, besides eating, this was the highlight of Mantanzas!

One of the first things you will discover about this pharmacy is, the more you read about it the more stories there seem to be. Some say it was originally in Havana opened in 1853, others that it was opened on this spot by the Triolett family in 1882. Some say it was the first in Latin America, however, how could it been if the first was opened by The Catalá, Sarrá and Co. society in Havana in 1853. If I have discovered one feature about Cuba, it is that they seem to be re-writing their history regularly, and sadly, frequently erasing much of the history that occurred before the revolution. My advice would be to ignore the stories and enjoy it for what it is, a truly magnificent collection of historic pieces, regardless of where they came from, assembled in one location. As a visitor you can't help but feel that the pharmacist left on an errand a century ago and never returned.

This museum is not to be missed. It is a real historical treat. Not very often do you go to a museum with basically everything that was used there from the beginning. We loved our visit here.

As part of the Bellamar Cave tour, plan to spend 45 minutes here. Wonderful to see it being preserved. Old cash registers, pharmaceutical medicines, tools, jars, books, etc.

Pharmacy Museum, on the lovely Plaza de la Libertad, is essentially the same as when it closed in the early 1960s and included not only the display cases but the empty bottles for dispensing drugs and the equipment for making the drugs. Note particularly the doors on the second floor living quarters that leave a four-foot open space above the door for circulation and the cool tile floors that would make it bearable on hot summer days.

They have managed to preserve a very interesting piece of history, including the original ledgers from the pharmacist! Entry was inexpensive and photos were not a problem. Worth a look if you're in the area.

like many others visited this Pharmaceutical Museum during part of a all day excursion. this place is very well preserved .its still amazing to see so many old bottles and the way a place like this operated in its day. I say there is a lot more here than they have available at the moment. Worth to see

Quite interesting... you'll want to take photos and for that you'll have to surrender some pesos here and there to some of the women guarding the rooms.Questionable whether it's suitable for children... you may not be able to appreciate it as much if you're constantly looking after them.
