photo project at the History of Pharmacy Collection

The latest temporary exhibition at the History of Pharmacy Collection in Cluj provides optimal conditions for special photo projects. As it is dedicated to the interference between the magical world of Harry Potter and the actual history of pharmacy, it provides visually appealing contrasts and insertions in the old apothecary that hosts the museum. It could be seen as an over-all art installation :)






The result is enhanced by the collaboration between the National History Museum, the University of Veterinary Medicine, and the Zoological Museum of the Babes-Bolyai University of the same city. Besides the old apothecary jars, laboratory, and decorations one can see actual bezoars, vipers, snow owls, and dissected frogs, not to mention props such as flying quills :)
