Sulabh International Museum of Toilets, India (Admission: Free) This follows the toilet's historical pipeline from 3,000 B.C. to the present "Ornately carved and painted urinals and commodes are a source of amusement e.g. medieval mobile commode in the shape of a treasure chest, which the English used while camping out for a hunt..."
