The collection of apothecary containers is one of the most interesting parts of the museum. Most of the ceramic and wood items are displayed in the first of two pharmacies. The museum boasts extremely beautiful examples of Italian ceramic from Faenza, Urbino, Pesaro and Savonna, along with some Dutch, German and Austro-Hungarian (Slovakian) ceramic. The items are arranged according to the criteria of pharmaceutical purpose. There we can see jugs for syrups, i.e. containers for viscous substances or liquids, followed by jars for ointments, i.e. containers for semi-solid substances, and jars for powders and extracts, i.e. containers for solid substances. So one can, on a symbolic level and according to the criteria of the purpose of the containers, follow the pharmaceutical production, i.e. the production of various forms of medicines. Most of the containers are from the 17th and 18th century.
The collection of pharmaceutical items is completed by a wide range of wooden apothecary containers for plant extracts from the 18th and 19th century. Apothecary containers for drugs are made of lime tree wood.
The various containers are interesting also because the inscriptions on them tell us which medicinal substances they contained.
The furniture in the larger pharmacy was hand made in Italy in the second half of 19th century (historism).
