De expositie met een grote verscheidenheid aan verbandstoffen, die vroeger en nu bij de drogist en apotheek verkrijgbaar waren en zijn, bleken voor de burgemeester en de wethouder een feest der herkenning.

This special triplet-yawner is the prize piece of the Drugstore Museum
The yawners on the left and above on this website are the new prize pieces of the Dutch Drugstore Museum . These special triplets were re-united at the beginning of May, after 41 years. This is about three stained glass panels with on each panel a yawner in Art Nouveau style. At one time they were joined to a yawner lantern and hung on the façade of the drugstore Christiaanse in Leiden.
Druggist Cornelis Christiaanse presented in 1961 after his firm closed his triplet yawners to the Algemene Nederlandse Drogisten Bond. One of these yawners was presented by the board (bond) to the Stichting Vakonderwijs voor Drogisten. The other two yawners ended up in 1996 in the attic of the drugstore museum. At the end of the century one of these was restored and since then has been hanging as show piece above the entrance to the museum. The other yawner, which was in a very bad state, was completely restored this spring by the stained-glass artist Marga van der Burgt.
