The museum provides information on the evolution of drug development and the role of pharmacists throughout history. While some visitors find the exhibits informative, others note that the space is relatively small and the displays can be a bit dated. The museum is particularly interesting for those with a specific interest in pharmaceutical history or medical professionals, but may have limited appeal for general tourists.
