The first Hungarian disposition in the field of "monument protection" is in connection with this house. The City Council during the reign of King Lajos II wanted to destroy the building in order to extend the size of the square, but the King denied destroying it referring to the architectural unity of the Main Square. The former Angel Apothecary (Angyal patika) operated in the house from the middle of the 17th century and was the home of chemists and doctors with their families. Adam Gensel (1677-1720) doctor and meteorologist was the most famous among them, he discovered the influence of the meteorological fronts on the human body.
The house was an arcaded one until the reconstruction of 1850. The Gensel family extended the house with the bricking of the arcades and the corridor. After the renovation in 1966-67, the Pharmacy museum was set up in the building. The exhibition is in the old chemist's shop with the original tables, wardrobes, and beautiful dishes from the beginning of the 19th century. The Altwien china jars from Vienna decorated with angels and the phials with the alchemist mark are especially beautiful.
The midwife certification with Ignac Semmelweis' signature is a curio as well. The relics of the traditional medicine and charlatanism have been exhibited beside the old pharmaceutical instruments: such as the amulet against the evil eye and the hat against the children's fright.
The valuable collection of books of the exhibition deals with medical and therapeutic sciences, e.g. Paracelsus: Colligatum from 1572, and Agricola-Poppius: Observationes from 1638.
