The place where Science! happens. Usually pronounced "lah-BOHR-ah-tor-ee" in ominous, stentorian tones. Every Mad Scientist has to have a lab. This is typically a refurbished dungeon of some sort, with aging stone walls; some are instead in higher locations, for better access to lightning, astronomical lookouts, and vantage points for Death Rays. Particularly enterprising scientists may have multiple such labs in different points of their home base. Regardless of location, they also must contain most of the following lab equipment: An operating table. Two if the Mad Scientist does brain transplants. Optional, though, is the winch for raising the table up to the roof. A big honking Jacob's Ladder (the thing that looks like a rabbit-ear antenna with an electrical arc between the posts) A Tesla coil. A roof that opens to the sky, to let the lightning in and/or the Death Ray out. A 1960s-style mainframe computer with big dials and switches on the front. Add spinning tape reels for extra credit. Bits of animals and people preserved in formaldehyde. Maybe even People Jars, depending on how scary the writer wants the lab to be. A whole bunch of glassware, especially test tubes, beakers, flasks of colored liquid, distilling columns, condensers, burettes, Bunsen burners, and that thing you get when you hook a bunch of them together. Optionally, depending on your flavor of Mad Scientist, you may find a wall generously populated with chains and manacles (just to make sure the experimental subjects stay handy and don't wander away). A big worn chalkboard or several, filled with complicated equations, indecipherable diagrams and abstruse symbols. Dusty piles of incomprehensible failed experiments, which may or may not suddenly become a danger to anyone wandering around unsupervised. May be in the dungeon of the Haunted Castle, or on an isolated tropical island. Big levers or control panels (that may or may not explode). Ginormous knife switches for completing dangerous electric circuits. An oscilloscope displaying a Lissajous◊ pattern In older works, a caged Killer Gorilla — presumably as a test subject and/or henchman — was a popular addition Never mind that real science does not generally call for all of these things at the same time — or within the same discipline! — the Mad Scientist doesn't specialize. All the same, most of what he does will at least look like chemistry, since nothing shouts "science" to the casual viewer more than a guy in a lab coat fiddling with a beaker of colored liquid. Laboratory glassware frequently shows up in period settings that predate their invention. Erlenmeyer Flasks, glass retorts, Griffin/Berzelius beakers, separatory funnels, Leibig condensers, and even test tubes date back only as far as the late 18th century at best; some of these were clearly developed in the mid to late 19th century. Dedicated laboratory equipment did not truly exist prior to the early 1800s and even then would have been primitive bearing little resemblance to familiar modern glassware. Prior to that, much chemistry was done with whatever bowls and jars were already available. Other equipment (such as alembics) was made of metal. Also never mind that modern chemistry has very little use for the big impressive glass-sculpture thing with with a lot of burettes, condensers, and funny coils of glass. (These actually were useful constructs at one time, but they're the chemistry equivalent of doing differential equations on an abacus. Also, even when they were used, a typical experimental setup would have consisted of three to six of the pieces put together; never dozens of pieces, all connected, as shown on the screen.) Most of these glassware setups appear to be inspired by random fuzzy pictures of the classic Miller-Urey experiment which can actually be simplified once you understand what is actually going on. But you need this stuff because otherwise, the audience won't realize that Science goes on here. A significant portion of mad scientist laboratories are not low budget small scale DIY projects that take up no more than a spare table in a corner. Instead, these labs are very elaborate for someone who usually does not appear to have anyone funding them, let alone working for them. Often the equipment is huge, bulky, unwieldy, and difficult to transport and assemble for just one man, even with an assistant. It's worth remembering that many mad scientists are older men (or physically weak men) who would definitely not be able to manage such a feat on their own. While not a mad scientist, Batman fans will recognize a modern iteration of this dilemma whenever the question is posed of how Bruce Wayne (maybe with Alfred's help) managed to build the Batcave, Batmobile and all his equipment by himself in secret. The archetypical movie Mad Scientist Laboratory probably came from the classic silent film Metropolis, though Universal's Frankenstein (1931) added a fair amount. Both were probably strongly influenced by a real-life example that was a staple in popular media between 1900 and 1940; the various laboratories of Nikola Tesla, which actually did feature gigantic incomprehensible machinery, scary robotic devices, Tesla coils, and lots of gaudy electric-arc effects. All of the film, TV, and comic versions of the Mad Scientist's Lab derive originally from Gothic Horror stories of the 18th and 19th centuries, the most famous of them being Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein and H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau. The concept developed from older stories about the lairs of alchemists and sorcerers. The Enlightenment put paid to many kinds of mystical dabbling by dilettantes, tinkerers, and wealthy eccentrics, but these characters were replaced in the public imagination by gentleman scientists — many of them self-taught, many very eccentric — who built laboratories and observatories in their homes and made a number of important discoveries in the new disciplines of chemistry, physics, and biology. The age of the gentleman scientist was ending by the 1850s, when the most famous of them, Charles Darwin, published his Theory of Evolution. More and more, experimental research became associated with facilities provided by universities, foundations, museums, governments and industry. However, the romantic image of the mad scientist — isolated from his fellows and angry with a world that would suppress his ideas — has deep archetypal power. It's also dramatically compact, needing only the scientist, an assistant, and a faithful servant or two as characters. The meme's emotional energy and enactment efficiency has kept it alive into the 21st Century, and it's even routinely projected into future scenarios via television shows like Star Trek and The Outer Limits (1963). This is edging toward becoming a Discredited Trope, at least in the classic beaker/Jacob's Ladder/operating table configuration. For the more modern variations, see Hacker Cave. For labs that were once this, but ended up being evacuated due to an experiment that went wrong, see Abandoned Laboratory. If someone's paying a visit and goes unnoticed, then it's Unguided Lab Tour. Compare and contrast the Wizard Workshop, this trope's fantasy and fairytale counterpart. |

Sherlock Holmes (2009): The "ginger midget" Luke Reordan, who turns out to be on Lord Blackwood's payroll, has two laboratories that are visited after his body is found in Blackwood's coffin. The first one's in his apartment, and the second is in a slaughterhouse. The walls of both places are adorned with writings and drawings that speak of experiments to combine sorcery with science as well as Reordan's connection to Blackwood who presents himself as The Antichrist. Holmes finds from the first laboratory most of the clues that later turn out to be essential in proving that Blackwood accomplished all his magical feats with science and trickery. The second laboratory was where Reordan created the chemical weapon Blackwood attempts to gas his opponents in the British Parliament with, and it's also where Dredger killed Reordan after the latter had delivered everything Blackwood wanted. | |

Crash Bandicoot: In the original game, Dr. Neo Cortex has a sinister tower castle. To the top, his lab, which is shown in the intro cutscene, contains his Cortex Vortex, N. Brio's Evolvo-Ray, and countless cages where a lot of marsupials are fearfully waiting for their turn to come. The Lab level has shades of this too, with its electric ray traps and its Blob Monsters who come out of nowhere. Crash Team Racing: N. Gin Labs is a big homage to labs and factory levels from the first two games, having one section where you turn around the Evolvo-Ray, radioactive barrels as a trap, and a big corridor where you can constantly boost. |

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream: AM builds a mock-up of a Nazi death camp for the character Nimdok to explore. One part of it includes a bunker containing a laboratory that fits this trope per the World War II setting, with implements from a teletype, a morphing creature in a bell jar, and a Golem made from steel and clay. It's also significant by the fact that Nimdok himself once performed experiments here alongside Dr. Mengele. Some of them included genetic manipulation and a youth serum, which is how AM kept Nimdok and four other humans alive for 109 years, and warped one of them into a mutant just for fun. | |

Supernatural. Played straight in "Monster Movie", where the Monster of the Week is a fan of monster movies like Frankenstein, and so has his own laboratory to electrocute Dean via Big Electric Switch. More updated versions are seen in "Asylum" and "The Man Who Would Be King" — the latter being the most disturbing of all given that it involves Affably Evil Crowley dissecting demons while discussing business with supposed good-guy Castiel. | |

Dracula vs. Frankenstein: Dr. Durea has a secret laboratory hidden beneath the Creature Emporium — the house of horrors he runs at the amusement park — where he conducts all of his experiments in developing his blood serum. Much of the electrical lab equipment in the lab are props originally used in the 1931 Frankenstein film. Ken Strickfaden, who had designed all the electrical gadgetry in that film, supplied the equipment. | |

Soul Eater: Professor Franken Stein has quite an interesting home/lab. Stitched patterns are found randomly throughout the house, both the inside and outside (and also on his clothes and even his person). He has an older looking computer and many chemistry related items such as a Bunsen burner, beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, etc. (which, it should be noted, he occasionally uses as drinking glasses). Arrows are painted on the floor pointing in different directions, usually away and toward doorways. | |

Something More Than Night: Played with. The Mad Scientist's secret basement laboratory is the site of genuine unethical mad science research, but because it was bankrolled by a movie mogul with an overdeveloped sense of drama and kitted out by his set construction department, a good proportion of the buzzing machines, bubbling tubes, unidentifiable specimens, etc. are just leftover props irrelevant to the actual task at hand. And the stone walls turn out, on closer inspection, to be textured plasterboard. | |

Star Trek: The interior of a Borg ship can come across like this. Star Trek: Voyager: At the start of "Dark Frontier (Part 1)", the ship is lit by blue flashes and the sound of electrical arcs, with the occasional burst of steam, even before they enter combat with Voyager. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Brothers", we start at the requisite glass containers full of bubbling chemicals and a tube generating lightning-like effects before panning across to the more homely aspects of Dr. Soong's hideout. |

Girl Genius: Sparks — the setting's name for pathological mad scientist — tend to feel an active compulsion to keep at least one handy laboratory stocked with assorted mechanical and/or surgical tools, chemical reagents, interesting specimens and past experiments in jars, and a metal bad with leather straps for holding uncooperative test subjects. Castle Heterodyne has quite a lot of them, so that every Spark in the family can perform their own experiments without getting in each other's way. And so they don't have to drag the bodies far when the urge strikes. In the novel Agatha H. and the Airship City (an expanded prose version of the first few comic volumes), Agatha asks Gil why he needs four labs aboard Castle Wulfenbach. He replies that his father has forty-three plus two ground-based facilities, so by comparison he's a model of efficiency. And that's not counting all the other labs on Castle Wulfenbach that the Baron set up for his employees, one of which is labeled "Lab Full of Exploding Things #5". |

Things become tighter when the villains' replacements have to work out of a space-travel-equipped VW Microbus, but this lasts for only one season — they return to a more appropriate environment soon enough.

Animal Crossing: Cobb, a pig villager, tends to decorate his house along these lines. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, he has walls lined with bookshelves, a large whiteboard, a set of metal shelves filled with flasks and bottles, a laboratory sink, a large computer bank of unclear purpose with a Florence flask filled with green fluid laid on it, and a "laboratory bench" consisting of a metal bed attached to a pair of defibrillators shaped to fit over a person's temples. In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, his required items are the shelves of bottles and the Florence flask from his New Leaf home, alongside a giant tube filled with green liquid and a vague bobbing shape. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, he goes for a more bookish theme, retaining the library walls but swapping out the high-tech furniture for piles of books, loose documents and crumpled papers, although he does retain a whiteboard covered in indecipherable writing. | |

This is generally an Invoked Trope, as many or most of these don't serve any real purpose; the Meks literally just put them there for the look. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Feeling Pinkie Keen": Twilight Sparkle's basement is shown to be filled with complex sensory apparati, tubes and bottles of colorful bubbling liquid, racks of test tubes, bookshelves, and giant tubing and machines of unclear purpose, with many of the larger pieces having tree roots wound around them. "It's About Time": Twilight has a second laboratory slash observation room in her attic, this one featuring a number of large, complex telescopes alongside abstruse graphs and piles of loose documents. |

Deus Ex: A large number of them exist. Somewhat justified in that several factions are technocratic cabals who see "technology alone as a source of political power", and some of them are on your side. Still, applies mainly to scientists serving the Big Bad. | |

Van Helsing: Being a send-up of Universal's classic horror movies, these naturally show up. The film opens in the laboratory of none other than Victor Frankenstein as he successfully brings his monster to life, and Dracula later appropriates the lab for his own purposes and then moves it to his own castle where he tries to complete the experiment. Another lab is shown earlier in the film where Carl develops weapons for Van Helsing to use against Dracula. | |

In the original game, Dr. Neo Cortex has a sinister tower castle. To the top, his lab, which is shown in the intro cutscene, contains his Cortex Vortex, N. Brio's Evolvo-Ray, and countless cages where a lot of marsupials are fearfully waiting for their turn to come. The Lab level has shades of this too, with its electric ray traps and its Blob Monsters who come out of nowhere. | |

Forever: Henry's basement lab resembles one, and Jo even refers to it as such after searching it, describing it as containing "human organs" (Henry is a Medical Examiner) and "torture devices" ("Oh, those are for sex!"). It's entered through a trap door hidden under a rug, and there are Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks containing colored substances when they're not neatly put away in cabinets, as well as a large fish tank containing jellyfish note Word of God says they are Immortal Jellyfish, but in reality those are much too small to show up in the tank. It doesn't help that Henry pronounces the word "laboratory" with emphasis on the second syllable, which most Americans associate with movie mad scientists. In the pilot, the Villain of the Week has created a lab in his garage, with Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks sporting bright purple residue from the aconite flowers he's creating poison with. Justifies as he's a chemist. |

Dr. Totenkopf requires a special mention here as his 'laboratory' is a whole factory complex, complete with a rocket launch silo. |

A Cure for Wellness: There's a locked tower on the spa grounds that the protagonist Lockhart eventually breaks into. He finds stairs leading down to a grotto containing an underground laboratory, which is replete in 19th century-style with beakers containing mutated fetuses, dissected eels, and scientific notebooks. It turns out the anachronistic look is not a coincidence, as the doctor who runs the spa is a lot older than he appears. | |

The Fly (1986) updates and downplays the "gentleman scientist" inspirations for this trope with Seth Brundle's lab. It's located on the top floor of an Abandoned Warehouse in a lonesome part of Toronto, and despite it also serving as his living quarters with a small kitchen, bedroom, etc. retains a stark appearance with its basic furnishings and lack of décor, since Seth is a Workaholic and has no social life. It has a skylight that factors into the climax (allowing him to sneak into the central room by Wall Crawling and get the drop on Stathis), shelves full of binders of papers, etc. serving as background detail, and is ultimately centered upon the exotic-looking "telepods" and the imposing computer that controls them. Early on, Seth actually provides some exposition to reporter (and later love interest) Veronica explaining that he had to commission the individual components for the telepods and "stick them together, but nobody knows what the project really is." His work is financed by a company (they met at a press event in the opening scene), "but they leave me alone because I'm not expensive, and they know that they'll end up owning it all, whatever it is." | |
