It's an interesting new exhibition. The entrance fee is € 6. The receptionist is very nice guy. The visitors get a tablet to help you what can be seen in the rooms. There are beautiful view from the roof terrace. The exhibition is scientific, alchemical. It looks unique in the city. It was a good idea to create it. Very instructive and interesting place, well set up. Make sure you go up to the rooftop terrace, the views of the Jewish ghetto (Juderia) and the Cathedral are amazing. There is a video that runs a little too long (about 60 mins) but it’s worth spending the time, since it shows the history of humanity of various cultures in historical context. Note: combine the entrance with the Casa Andalusí next door to save some euros per person. Very instructive and interesting place, well set up.

Small with relaxing and fantastic atmosphere that takes you yo 12 century, specially after day tour in cordoba mosque cathedral and old city Great for those interested in Chemistry, Science. Interesting collection of artifacts. Wish they added information about the Andalusian Chemists contributions. Some artifacts need more description or a title with estimated dates. Great initiative of the private owner to open this for public. Get the combined ticket with Casa Andalusia next door. Beautiful rooftop view. One of our all time favourite museums - well worth the visit. The guide is extremely helpful and there is a lot to see. Views from the rooftop are stunning, and you can get a combination ticket for this and Casi de Andalusi next door. Definitely recommend! The name is misleading. Nothing to do with and no staff to answer questions. The atmosphere is nice, but that's about it. The presentation in the theater room, is totally off axis. There is a strong emphasis on astrology and spirituality. Very small but very well put together. Very relaxing atmosphere and very Interesting history. For 8 euro you can buy the combo together with the andalusí house which is 100% percent worth it. I advice to visit in April or may because of the flower that are all in bloom Some of the criticisms of this are fair but generally found it fun. Would pass if only in Córdoba for a day or two but we were here a week and this plus house of Sefarad plus Andalusian house plus synagogue makes for a versatile and interesting few hours. Probably not for someone who has a PhD in the anthropology of or something but an interesting peek into an area I knew nothing about. Not to be taken too seriously, but I found it charming Discovering this was like finding a hidden treasure in Córdoba. It’s the only in Europe, and it offers a truly special experience. With the tablet they provide, you can dive deep into the fascinating history of at your own pace. Upstairs, the documentary they show is so beautifully made that I found myself wishing I could take a recording home. And I did - you can buy the recording at the reception. I left not only inspired but also with a deeper appreciation for the rich, symbolic world of alchemy. It is worth buying a combo ticket for it and Casa Andalusi ( they are next to each other). The price we paid for this is way too much for what it has to offer. It is a very tiny with very few exhibits. The tab they provide is good if you want to listen to explanations but dont go in with high expectations. The while entertaining was not particularly science-based. I felt like it mixed up together the historical reality of Arabic with the popular modern pseudoscience of astrological signs, energy and so on. While some of this mysticism is definitely present in real historical alchemy, I felt like in this case much of it was "Disneyfied" and made palatable to modern tourists with a soft spot for astrology and pseudo-spirituality. To have a taste of the life in Al-Andalous you should go to the al-iksir museum. It is filled with the truly beautiful old arabian artwork and poems of some of the greatest mystics like Ibn Arabi.
