About

The Abecadło antique shop is located in the place of the former Guardian Angel pharmacy, at 18 Kościuszki Street in Krakow. Its unique interior is made up of antique pharmacy furniture dating back to 1899, which the owners managed to save and restore.

After the pharmacy closed in 2016, it was converted into this bookstore. Medicines and other pharmaceutical preparations have been replaced by a wide range of books, fairy tales, comics, magazines, graphics, posters, postcards, photographs, maps, prints and documents, and even vinyl records, CDs, and video cassettes.
