About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Pharmacy Museum in Kyiv's Podil district goes back to seventeen twenty-eight, when a German pharmacist was licensed by imperial decree to open the city's first private pharmacy in this small house. It follows the family who inherited his counter and the customers from both ends of Kyiv society who came through the door. Listen standing by the old counter and glassware before heading down to the cellars.
