A Visit to a Swiss Alchemy Lab Museum

by Frater Miles

   In 1964 I was in Switzerland attending a business convention and had some free time to see the local sights.  One of the places I visited was an alchemy lab and museum in Basle run by a Swiss pharmaceutical company. I'm thankful I took these pictures as a memory of my trip and the mystical vibes I felt in the lab.  I wonder if it's still there after almost 40 years?

Note: Both alchemy labs have alligators in the lofts.  I didn't know Switzerland had lizards that got this large.  :-)
