Museum gift ideas

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s museum offers a range of pharmacy-related Christmas gift ideas and cards. Items for sale include replica drug jars, illustrated books on pharmacy history and packs of greetings cards and postcards. To ensure delivery by Christmas, orders must reach the museum by Monday 10 December.

The seven replica drug jars available are hand-finished copies of original objects held in the museum’s collections. Each is supplied with an information sheet giving historical details of the original jar and its contents.

The books cover the museum’s caricature collection, photographic collection and the history of the Society.

The greeting cards and postcards feature images from the museum’s collections, including botanical illustrations, advertisements, photographs and cartoons.
