The project explores in depth the museum adaptation of the Pinyol pharmacy in Llardecans, a space frozen in time, preserving the memory of a lineage of pharmacists, who over the course of generations forged a legacy of science and community service. The pharmacy was founded in 1848 by Tomàs Pinyol Llop, and remained in continuous operation for more than 150 years. When it closed, the pharmacy remained intact for decades. A restoration project was announced in 2021 to open it to the public, giving rise to a uniquely distinctive museum adaptation project.
This work invites us to discover the secrets of the pharmacy from a twofold perspective: the historical reconstruction of the Pinyol family and their role within the rural community, and an analysis of the rich heritage that has been preserved there.
