Here in Budapest, where the EuroEcho meeting is underway, is the Golden Eagle Pharmacy Museum.
Housed in the medieval location of a pharmacy of the same name, it features medicine mixing tools, a 16th century "physicians’ desk reference" on preparation of medicines, and replicas of a pharmacy "counter" and a laboratory. There are
also paintings illustrating what it was like to work in one
in the days when pharmacist and physician weren’t separate positions.
It’s a small but interesting museum in the castle district of Budapest.
I’d recommend it to any clinicians or radiologists in town for the
conference. After catching up on MedPage Today‘s coverage, of course.
