Delhi Weirdest Museum

The Sulabh International Museum of Toilets in Delhi is a museum run by Sulabh International Social Service, which is dedicated to the global history of sanitation and toilets.



The importance of this museum when it shows up that access to the toilet used to be an issue in India, which by the effort of Sulabh and Government it is going to be solved, first of all by build toilets across India and even Mobile Toilet Van, and second of all in a cultural way like this museum that stablished in 1992 which has a rare collection of facts, pictures and objects detailing the historic evolution of toilets from 2500 BC to date and provides a chronological account of developments relating to technology, toilet-related social customs, toilet etiquettes, prevailing sanitary conditions and legislative efforts of the times.




According to Time magazine, the museum is one of the weirdest museums among the "10 museums around the world that are anything but mundane".

The highlights of the Toilet Museum
One of the intriguing exhibits is a mimic of the British medieval era commode which is a table that they used to eat, write and shit on it!!!




There is a look-alike of the toilet used by King Louis XIV, which he used while holding court so that he does not have to excuse himself to answer the call of nature and also save time.



A two-storey toilet used in the US in the 1920s is also a part of the Toilet Museum that the upper toilet belonged to the management and the lower part was for employees.


There is also the image of the first toilets in the Indian subcontinent.



Diminishing in the environmental impact:
The upper part of the tank of the toilet allowing the reuse of water we need to wash ourselves.
