The Pharmacy and Health Museum proposes an attractive and unusual experience through 5000 years of history of health. Its vast collection includes objects of rare artistic, anthropological, and scientific value, describing a journey, where each civilization is portrayed under a narrative of disease-fighting and the seeking of healing and pain relief, since the first traces of life on earth until today, passing through cultures and civilizations as distinct in time and place as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Incas, the Aztecs, Islam, Africa, Tibet, China, Japan, among others. A journey that, although it started in prehistory, it is still being built today on the testimonies that now reach us from the “future”, such as portable pharmacies and first aid kits used by NASA astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

The Pharmacy Museum has a charming terrace, with a beautiful view of 20 cubic meters of the tagus river to the left of all the trees of the Santa Catarina viewpoint, while sitting in a beautiful plastic chair, at the perfect angle of 30 ° of inclination, in which you can enjoy a wonderful coffee from the best boxes of the best trucks that travel on the best roads from the closest Delta factory to your table, and all this wonderful experience of the senses for the modest amount of € 2.20 (Just the coffe), which considering the excellent quality of the exotic coffee served and the conditions provided, is totally justified. I will keep the receipt with me, for later it too, to be considered as a museum piece, and a historical witness of the heyday of madness that Lisbon is experiencing in the present years. I highly recommend it to my great friend Bill Gates.
