Among the oldest tools used to prepare drugs, the museum has a small collection of mortars of different shapes and made of materials such as metal, stone, porcelain and glass, as well as other devices which in their time were essential for drug preparation: culture and drying ovens, old and modern stills, autoclaves, leachers, ovens, pill presses, press filters, pill coaters, and centrifuges. There is also a small but interesting collection of gas burners, once used in laboratories all over the world.

The many glass containers and devices assembled - balloon flasks, tubes, coolers, retorts and Woulf's bottles, once used in the faculty laboratories - bear witness to the importance of experimental sciences in the training of pharmacists.
