The Black Saracen Pharmacy Museum was set up in Kőszeg in the former Black Saracen Pharmacy building. This was the city's first pharmacy, which operated at this location between 1665 and 1983. On its ground floor, in the office built between 1850 and 1860, a herbal shop operates today (in 2008), and from there opens the exhibition presenting the 17th‑century pharmacy furnishings and the history of pharmacy, in which the cherry‑wood furniture made in the mid‑19th century stands in its original place. In addition to the 17th‑19th century laboratory interior, two rooms mainly display laboratory equipment.

In addition, the first exhibition room shows Hungary's oldest pharmacist dynasty, the relics of the Küttel family, and the last room, besides the tools for preparing medicines and pharmaceutical forms, features a coin collection.
