Parking near Apotekersamlingen
The Apothecary Collection is located at the top of the historic Jens Bang’s House in central Aalborg and houses an exceptional collection of objects from the former Svane Pharmacy, which was based in the building for nearly 350 years. Here, you can explore original cabinets, drawers, jars, and antique medical tools that have been preserved and stored in the attic over generations – now telling the story of the role of pharmacists through the centuries.
The well-preserved collection is typically experienced through guided tours, where the authentic setting and historic interiors bring the past to life. At the same time, Jens Bang’s House – one of Northern Europe’s best-preserved Renaissance buildings – provides a unique and atmospheric backdrop, making the visit more than just an exhibition. The Apothecary Collection is a special experience for both history enthusiasts and curious visitors who wish to discover Aalborg’s cultural heritage and everyday life of the past.
