History

In 1494, the first pharmacy in what is now Romania was opened in Nagyszeben, and Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the German physician and founder of naturopathy, lived there. The museum is housed in a 15th century building, which has been the site of the Black Bear pharmacy since 1568. The museum was founded in 1972.
