Pharmacy Museum
I went to two places in hopes that they would be appropriate for the PACCE project. The first was the House of Terror which was a museum showcasing the horrors of both the Nazi and Soviet occupation of Hungary. Although the House of Terrors was an incredible museum and experience overall, it had little to do with Science and Technology and would therefor be inappropriate for the project. Thankfully I also had the chance to visit the Pharmacy Museum by the Citadel near Buda Castle. This of course had significantly more to do with science and although it might not have been a large museum, it did house a great deal of medical artifacts and information about the development of pharmaceuticals in Hungary. Not only was it informational but also very cheap at only 400 forint for students.

After reading this I really wish I would have gone to the House of Terror. When first going to the hospital and learning about the occupations, I found them quite interesting so I think the House of Terrors would have been a cool place to go to learn more.
That pharmacy museum we went to was pretty nutty. The artifacts date back to the 15th century when alchemists owned the building.
The pharmacy museum surprised me. For such a small space, they provided a lot of information about how medicine used to be practiced. It contained multiple intricately decorated phamasidical containers, like the ones we saw at the medical museum. I found this interesting that they made each jar not only for function, but decoration.
