All pharmacies had a storage area for raw ingredients, containers, and packaging. In this house, it functioned in a room with a massive storage cabinet, recently restored. Based on its numerous paint layers and customized shape, the cabinet with drawers indicating the pharmaceutical content was used for at least 200 years. The 2019-2023 restoration of the building has also revealed a fragment of the Baroque decoration of the vault. Other pieces of painted furniture complete the display in the camera materialis.

In the center of the room you can try to guess, based on smell and aspect, a number of materials used in the past for healing.
