The point of departure for this collection was the acquisition, by Dr J.-L Hollenfeltz of Arlon, of part of the furniture from the old pharmacy at Orval. The museum was erected by the Committee for the resurrection of the Medico-Pharmaceutical Section of Orval Abbey. The foundation stone was laid on 16 May 1932 and the museum opened on 7 August 1935. Eighty four different plants are grown in the pharmaceutical garden.
