Pharmacy Museum, New Orleans

Thw last stop before leaving the darling city was the Pharmacy Museum, mostly because it's the closest to our hotel. It's an old pharmacy that also has its share of scary stories that was then converted to a museum. The tour guide was absolutely hilarious and highly knowledgeable not just of the items in the museum, but the circumstances of New Orleans living and culture in the past.

The first floor is full of old "medicines" and I use quotes on that because the state of medicine and pharmacy back then was appalling. As the tour guide said, dying was the culture and the look of death was the popular trend.

After this was the mad dash to get to the airport and not miss our flight back home. Other things not pictured was our night on Bourbon street, but that really shouldn't be put on public display anyway. New Orleans was so fun! I'm already planning to come back for Mardi Gras. I think I need to experience that at least once in my lifetime. Some photos by Ella.
