Speculum Alchemiae Museum, or The Museum of Alchemy, is located in Prague and is a 4-minute walk from the Jewish Quarter. Housed in the oldest buildings of Prague, the Museum of Alchemy is a traditional alchemist's workshop giving visitors a peek into medieval science. The visit comes with guided tours, taking you through the "secret" underground laboratory originally built for king Rudolf II in the 16th Century. Here, you will learn about the elixirs that alchemists brewed following the original formulas that can be found here under controlled settings. Visits into the underground world illuminate some similarities between today's scientific theories and elixirs' healing powers. The museum complex also includes a store where similar elixirs can be purchased.
