Are you one of those (yours truly included) who love and inspired by images of the so-called mad scientists working in their hidden laboratories seen in movies or comic books?

Yes, those dungeon-like or attic-like labs used by early scientists. And also those with tall glass windows and exposed brick walls room filled with antique wooden furniture, ancient scientific equipment and instruments.

Go to Google Images and type “old science lab” or you may check out this site featuring a gallery of early science labs.
