The History of Pharmacy Collection in Cluj-Napoca is preparing a new edition of their Feast of Love annual event, for February 27th. This year it is connected to the temporary exhibition Harry Potter and the real history of pharmacy and is entitled "Love through smell". There will be interactive workshops (smelling and guessing more than 20 apothecary ingredients), a contest (inventing one's own love potion recipe) with prices (small bottles with the ingredients of the actual Love Potion sold in the pharmacies of Transylvania during the eighteenth century), and surprises for coffee-lovers! Read more about the event in Romanian HERE.
