About this audio guide
This guide to the Red Crayfish Pharmacy on Michalská Street in Bratislava starts at a blacksmith's forge in the late eighteen hundreds and asks how old this shop really is. It follows the pharmacy's own founding claim, a house wedged into the defences of Michael's Gate, and the jars and ceiling paintings of its surviving rooms. Best heard on the pavement, looking up at the sign over the door.
