De Griffioen: pharmacy and medical collections

Museum De Griffioen in Delft combines pharmacy with surgery, nursing and dentistry. A historic pharmacy and themed rooms make up the route described through the building.

Plan your visit ↗

A pharmacy as a whole

The porcelain jars and the fittings can be viewed both individually and together. The explanations about use and layout make it clearer how a workspace was organised.

Different healthcare practices

Instruments from several fields are not readily comparable. Read which function and context go with an object, and treat the display as history, not as current medical instructions for use.

On your own or with a guide

The first Sunday offers a different way of visiting from a booked guided tour. If you want a guide’s explanation, you must book it in advance and take the stated group conditions into account.

Before you go

The museum is not wheelchair accessible. Confirm the open Sunday or appointment and arrange a guide for groups a few days in advance; there is no daily walk-in access.
