The Steamboat Arabia Museum in Kansas City has a conservation lab "open" to the public. Note that this is a private, for profit museum so it may be operating with different ideas than a private non-profit, but when I visited last summer it was quite interesting. Also a great example of visible storage. http://www.1856.com/ then go to the Exhibits tab - floorplan -- #15 Lab.
