1. Title: A Window into the Past: Pharmacy Jars and Mortars at the Museum of Pharmacy, Turku, Finland 2.. Step back in time and explore the captivating world of historical pharmacy at the Museum of Pharmacy in Turku, Finland. This evocative image showcases an exquisite collection of antique pharmacy jars and mortars from the 19th century. The Museum of Pharmacy, located in the heart of Turku, Finland, is a unique and fascinating institution dedicated to preserving the rich history of pharmacy. The collection on display includes an impressive array of glass and ceramic jars, as well as mortars, which were essential tools in the preparation and dispensing of medicines during the 19th century. The glass jars, with their intricate designs and delicate shapes, were used to store various medicinal substances. Their transparent nature allowed pharmacists to easily assess the contents, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of their prescriptions. The ceramic jars, on the other hand, were used for more robust and heavy-duty storage, as they were less prone to breaking than their glass counterparts. Mortars, often made of ceramic or stone, were used to grind and crush medicinal ingredients into a fine powder. This process was crucial in the preparation of many traditional remedies and medicines. The pestle, a long, heavy rod, was used to crush the ingredients within the mortar, releasing their active properties and allowing them to be mixed with other ingredients or water to create a medicinal concoction. This image offers a glimpse into the world of pharmacy during the 19th century, a time when the practice of pharmacy was a blend of art, science, and tradition. The Museum of Pharmacy in Turku, Finland, invites visitors to delve deeper into this intriguing history and appreciate the evolution of pharmacy from its humble beginnings to the advanced field it is today.
