The Pharmacy Collection in Jens Bangs Stenhus
For more than 300 years, there was a pharmacy in the ground floor of one of Aalborg’s most famous houses, Renaissance merchant Jens Bang’s impressive stone house in the city centre. Not only medicine was sold here, but also exotic merchandise such as coffee, tea and spices from countries around the world. Over the years, successive pharmacists have shifted cupboards and drawers, jars and exotic drugs to the attic, and you may now view this impressive collection on a guided tour of Danish pharmacy history during several hundred years.
