Exhibtions

Our latest exhibition, "The Art and Science of Pharmacy - 100 Years at Charles Michies" is now open to the public - a fascinating collection of pharmaceutical objects and archival material with which to tell our 100 year story. The beautifully ornate nature of so many of the objects, from hand painted specie jars to stylish ingredients drawers, speaks to the historic role of art, as much as science, in pharmacy.

We are also exhibiting a selection of architectural drawings of Union Street buildings, a project commissioned by the OUR UNION street team to celebrate and highlight the stunning buildings along the 'granite mile'
