It's a shower, I tell you: a modern instance of a Victorian shower. You stand within and pull the chain, and whoosh!

It looks an order of magnitude smaller than a modern lavender still. (5 tonnes of lavender packed in, steam blown over it, about 50 kg out.)
On the other hand, it is a museum, so it could be an old one, before the days of real mass production.
You were also down in the lavender producing region of France, so I'm going with that option.

If I hadn't already seen the answer on Twitter I probably would have guessed at some kind of wood gasifier.

No idea, but it looks rather interesting.

Since we were in the same museum six weeks ago, I shall refrain from completing the poll.

I think it might be something to do with freezing or refrigeration.

My answer is based on the colour of the staining :-)
