Pharmacy 2
Pharmacy 2, located in Damien Hirst’s £25 million ($38 million) London museum, was created to follow the artists pharmacy theme.
The restaurant’s decor is strongly influenced by Hirst’s artistic aesthetic. The eatery features work from hirst’s most iconic series, including the ‘medicine cabinets’ and ‘butterfly kaleidoscope’ paintings, alongside etched glass windows depicting DNA strands, marble inlaid flooring and a bar that incorporates a stainless steel and glass vitrine. Colourful pill graphics are embedded into the marble floor and embroidered onto leather banquettes.
Completed in 2015 with designers Caruso St John, the site features pieces from Hirst’s personal art collection, with the inaugural show set as ‘power stations’ — a solo exhibition of paintings by John Hoyland. The on-site restaurant gives visitors the opportunity to view some of Hirst’s own art, which reflects his interest in science, medicine and pharmaceuticals.
