Hi Paris,
The lion emblazon is a slightly modern reconstruction of the symbol of Fadrique de Basilea, a German printer who setup an important printing press in Burgos in the late 15th century. He was one of the first printers in Spain and turned Burgos into the most important printing centre of the nation.
The book museum is called "Fadrique de Basilea" in his honour. Here's his original colophon which he put in his incunubles to mark his work:
