About seven years ago, the Blue Grass Pharmacists Association helped to establish the Kentucky Renaissance Pharmacy Museum with the mission "to contribute to the understanding of the history and development of pharmacy in Kentucky by fostering the preservation and dissemination of knowledge of the history of pharmacy in Kentucky."
Located in the Lexington History Center, visitors to the pharmacy museum can peruse the elaborate hand-made cabinets and showcases, view an extensive collection of handsome ground glass apothecary globes and bottles, mortars and pestles, personalized prescription tablets, books and journals; and enjoy a vast assemblage of other historic apothecary paraphernalia from local pharmacies that served our community throughout past decades.
If you're a pharmacy buff and haven't yet visited the pharmacy museum, you don't know what you're missing. It's a worthy addition to your busy schedule, and you'll get a better perspective on just how much the practice of pharmacy has advanced throughout the years.
