Qwensel House
Pharmacy Museum
The shop wing of the building was furnished with a pharmacy in the 19th century. The pharmacy has a material room and a herb room, two laboratories and an office. The office has the oldest survived pharmacy interior in Finland.
The exhibition wing of the building has Åke Lydman's collection of pharmacy utensils on display. There is also a pharmaceutical research laboratory and pharmacy history exhibition in the wing. In addition to the main exhibitions, there are also varying smaller exhibitions and programmes held at the museum every year.
The use of pharmaceutical herbs can be studied with the lead of an "apothecary" at the Children's Pharmacy, the courtyard and outdoors. The authentic pharmacy cabinet is from the Nykarleby Pharmacy.
The former stable, toilet and barn are located at the northern end of the Pakaritupa wing of the building. The Pipping family used to have a garden with apple trees and plants along Linnankatu (formerly Kuningattarenkatu).
