Golden Eagle Pharmacy Museum

North of Dísz tér, on the site of Budapest’s first pharmacy (1681), this small, entertaining museum contains a mock-up of an alchemist’s laboratory, with dried bats and stuffed crocodiles suspended from the ceiling, a small "spice rack" used by 17th-century travelers for their daily fixes of curative herbs, curiously shaped glassware and a blackened mummy head. It was being renovated at the time of research.
