Local nameMuziejaus vaistinė
LocationKaunas

The Museum of the History of Lithuanian Medicine and Pharmacy is a medical and pharmacy history museum located in a restored 16th-century building at the Town Hall Square in the Old Town of Kaunas, Lithuania. The Museum functions as a department of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, with a remit encompassing the collection, protection, display, scientific research and popularisation of museum values. The museum also organises lectures and practical classes for university students.

It moved to its current location in 1987, although its history dates to 1936. Alfonsas Kaikaris, a professor of pharmacy, is credited as the founder of the museum; his personal collection formed the basis of its holdings. The Lithuanian Pharmacists' Union worked to collect materials as well. It is sponsored by Kaunas University of Medicine.
