Contemporary jewellery artefacts inspired by the shape of some scientific devices [19th c.], like reaction vase, still, reflux condenser, Bunsen burners, among others, from the collection of the laboratorio chimico* of the former Lisbon Polytechnic School [1837-1911], recovered in the original design from the nineteenth century, now integrated in the National Museum of Natural History and Science.
* It is a unique example of the nineteenth-century European scientific heritage, through which generations of students passed for more than 150 years.
