New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

Housed within a classic 1822-1823 Creole townhouse in the French Quarter, the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum showcases an extensive collection of authentic 19th and early to mid-20th-century medical artifacts. Originally serving as the apothecary and residence of the nation's first licensed pharmacist, Louis J. Dufilho, Jr., the venue invites visitors to explore self-guided exhibitions during the week or join scheduled weekend morning tours for a closer look at the history of pharmacy and medicine.
