About this audio guide
Inside the Regional Museum in Český Krumlov, this guide steps into a fully preserved Baroque pharmacy that once belonged to the town's Jesuit college, its carved shelves watched over by Saint Pantaleon and Saint John of Nepomuk. You'll learn how the stock built up from around sixteen forty through the next two centuries, and what became of the college once the Jesuit order was suppressed. Along the way it lingers on the apothecary's trade itself, the roots and bitter extracts that filled nearly two hundred jars, and the tricks he borrowed from bakers and brewers to get a patient to finish the dose.
