Lonely Planet review for Deutsches Apothekenmuseum

Infinitely more fun than science lessons, the Deutsches Apothekenmuseum, off the courtyard, explores chemistry and pharmacology in centuries past. Look out for the hands-on kids' pharmacy (healthy tea anyone?) and miracle cures from opiates to, hmmm, unicorn. With a capacity of more than 220,000L, the 18th-century Grosses Fass (Great Vat) is the world's largest wine cask, shaped from 130 oak trees. Describing it as being 'as big as a cottage', Mark Twain bemoaned its emptiness and mused on its possible functions as a dance floor and gigantic cream churn.
