Toilet Museum in India which exhibits Weird and Wonderful Historical Loos

Now what would you say to this Toilet museum which exhibits weird and wonderful historical loos to campaign for better hygiene in India. As  per one report:

A new museum has used hundreds of toilets to create a weird and wonderful exhibition - all to promote better hygiene in India. The museum in New Delhi, India, has made toilets a work of art, and they are a key to finding out more about our history. 

The Sublabh International Museum of Toilets showcases lavatories from the 1700s, ladies' chamber pots, and French disguised toilets. But perhaps the biggest attraction to this new world of sanitation is the replica of the throne of King Louis the XIV. Dr Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of the NGO Sulabh International, which founded the museum, said: “It is indeed a very unusual museum and it’s the only one of its kind in the world. “A highlight of the museum is the replica of the throne of King Louis the XIV. 

The king is believed to have used this to defecate while conducting court sessions.” Hundreds flock each month to browse the facts, pictures and artifacts that date back to 2,500 BC. Let's just hope the plumbing keeps working or they will be in deep, well, trouble. Curators scoured the globe for unusual toilets to make the display as interesting as possible, and it doesn't disappoint. 

There are privies, chamber pots, toilet furniture, bidets and water closets, and the information boards tell you everything you could wish to know about sanitation across the world. Who wouldn't want to know where medieval women perched after all? With sanitation issues worse than ever in third world countries, the museum aims to inform people of how problems have developed over time.
