But this museum gives an insight in to all that you don’t know and all that you should know! It
exhibits artifacts collected all the way from 3000 BC till the end of 20th century!

There’s a replica of a commode in the form of a treasure chest that dates back to the British medieval period. It looks like you have lock yourself up in a wooden box to use a pot! Another interesting display is a replica of a toilet used by King Louis XIV, that is touted to have been used by him while he was holding court, just so he could save on time! There’s also a gold and silver toilet and a two-storey toilet that was used during the 1920’s in the US.
