Sweny's Pharmacy, located at 1 Lincoln Place in Dublin, Ireland, is a historic establishment that has been operating since 1847. It gained literary fame for its mention in James Joyce's novel Ulysses, where the protagonist Leopold Bloom purchases a lemon-scented soap.
The pharmacy's interior has remained largely unchanged for over a century, with original wooden fixtures, apothecary bottles, and even old prescriptions still stored in drawers. Today, it operates as a volunteer-run pharmacy and a museum dedicated to Joyce's work.
Visitors can still buy the same lemon soap that Bloom bought, and the shop hosts regular readings of Ulysses. The building is a protected structure, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
