Source

The Tomàs Balvey Museum-Archive in Cardedeu is a unique institution that revolves around the legacy of Tomàs Balvey i Bas, who was the last in a long line of pharmacists in Cardedeu. The museum's narrative is built around the pharmacy and its pharmacist, focusing on the world of illness, remedies, and health. This makes it a fascinating destination for those interested in the history of medicine and pharmacy.

Old Balvey Pharmacy Set

One of the most striking features of the Tomàs Balvey Museum-Archive is the old Balvey pharmacy set. This includes the original furniture from 1812, over 200 pharmacy jars in empire style that still contain their original contents, and the tools of the pharmacy. This display offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of pharmacy and medicine.

Botanical and Pharmacist's Garden

In addition to the historical exhibits, the Tomàs Balvey Museum-Archive also features a botanical garden that showcases the local vegetation and its medicinal herbs. There is also a pharmacist's garden, further emphasizing the museum's focus on the history and practice of pharmacy. These outdoor spaces provide a tranquil setting for visitors to explore and learn.
