Sehr interessant und informativ. Nicht groß, aber wir haben uns trotzdem 1,5 h dort aufgehalten. Der Besitzer ist freundlich und engagiert und beantwortet sehr gerne jede Frage. Es ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Unbedingt. Es ist nicht der groß, aber lehrreich.

Nach mehr als zwölf Jahren hatte ich nun während eines Leipzig- Besuches endlich wieder Gelegenheit das Sächsische Apothekenmuseum zu besuchen. Unweit der Thomaskirche gelegen, muss man zunächst an der Türe klingeln, nachdem einem freundlich geöffnet wird, geht man in den ersten Stock und wird überrascht von einem wunderbaren kleinen Museum in dem man in mehreren Räumen viel über die Geschichte des Apothekenwesens, die Herstellung von Arznrien, berühmte Apotheker, die auch als Sammler tätig waren, über Homöopathie u.v.m.erfährt. Mein persönliches Highlight als jemand der in der DDR geboren wurde und aufwuchs- der kleine Raum mit den Medikamenten aus der DDR Zeit, der viele Erinnerungen an die Kindhrit und die Tabletten, die die Großeltern einst einnahmen, wachrief. Den Besuch beendete ein sehr schöner Plausch mit der ausgesprochen netten und sympathischen Dame vom Museum. Also, liebe Leipziger und Leipzig- Touristen, schaut Euch das Museum an, es lohnt sich sehr.
