Lairesse Apotheek

I've never been to Lairesse Apotheek .

This is one pharmacy that I will not wait to get sick to visit. You will find this unique pharmacy in Amsterdam's museum quarter in an old bank boasting a one of a kind architecture. Dutch architectures Concrete have made this pharmacy the place to go, even if you are well. Here you will find the shelves glowing green, while the floor is printed with photos of Ginkgo leaves. The outward facing drawers contain the over the counter products, while the inward facing drawers house the prescription medications, accessible only by the pharmacists. Perhaps the most stunning visual, enhancing the surreal effect given by the building, is the tree that appears to be growing from the floor into the ceiling, passing through the curved cement counter.

That I'd like to see.
