Sort of museum where Ruby gets to do her stuff? (7)

I believe the answer is:

waxwork

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'sort of museum' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'where ruby gets to do her stuff?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waxwork that I've seen before include "Candle material effigy" , "Image" , "Still representation of a famous person" , "Figure made from candle material" , "Life-sized representation of a celebrity" .)
