Sumario:When thinking of a 'Lab', the most common image that comes to mind is that of a special facility that contains beakers, burners and other tools and instruments necessary to carry out experiments. Regarding the concept of a museum, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) defines it as: a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment (International Council of Museums, 2007).
