Jędrzej Śniadecki owed his first contact with pharmacy to Jan Andrzej Szaster (1746–1793), a pharmacist from Kraków and the owner of a pharmacy called “Pod Słońcem”(“Under the Sun”), the first professor of pharmacy and medical matters in Poland. It took place during Śniadecki’s studies at the Principal School of the Realm in Kraków. He broadened his knowledge of medicinal products during his studies abroad. Upon his arrival in Vilnius in 1797, he became the head of the department of chemistry and pharmacy at Vilnius University, where he taught pharmacy in the years 1797–1804. Handwritten texts of his lectures have been preserved in the Archive, thanks to which we can precisely understand their scope today. On behalf of the university, Jędrzej Śniadecki managed the transformation of the former Jesuit Pharmacy into the University Pharmacy.

In January 1896, a few days after the announcement of the discovery of X-rays, experiments with X-ray photography began in Cracow, giving the beginnings of Polish radiology.

To this day, radiographs of various objects, like high-quality medical x-ray photographs, X- ray apparatuses, and lamps have survived from this period. A description of early X-ray photographs and scientific publications by professors of the Jagiellonian University are kept as a valuable source of information on the level of conducted experiments. The Polish pioneers of this field were Karol Olszewski (first Polish X-ray photographs) and the doctors of medicine Alfred Obaliński, Mieczysław Nartowski, Walery Jaworski, and Karol Mayer.

The authors describe the publications and objects stored in the units of the Jagiellonian University documenting the beginnings of Polish radiology.

At the end of the nineteenth century, there appeared a new trend called Art Nouveau, which dominated all areas of fine arts, and was most fully expressed in architecture and crafts. The sites that were under the influence of Art Nouveau ornamentation, for understandable reasons, included also pharmacies. Pharmacy windows, emblems, furniture, pharmaceutical utensils, packaging for medicines, advertising and advertising catalogues were performed in accordance to this trend. Today, many of them can be seen in the Museum of Pharmacy of the Jagiellonian University.
