A perfectly preserved 19th-century pharmacy on Calle Milanés, a short walk from the Plaza de la Vigía. The interior looks exactly as it did when the pharmacy was operating: shelves lined with hundreds of French and British porcelain jars, mahogany counters, a handsome soda fountain, and a dispensary with the original equipment. The museum also holds a collection of pharmaceutical instruments and a small archive of prescriptions and medical records.
The Farmacia La Reunión, as it was originally called, served Matanzas through yellow fever outbreaks, the independence wars, and the transition from colony to republic. The level of preservation is extraordinary — the collection has never been moved or significantly rearranged since the pharmacy closed. Worth at least an hour.
