In Paris, France, you will find a museum that is based on the sewer system. I know, this seems weird and in all actuality, it may not smell so good, but it Is not that bad of a museum. It is rich in history. Paris started building their sewer system during the 13th century, which makes it the oldest in the world. Do you have plans on visiting this antique sewer pipe or do you plan on skipping out on it and visiting something else from my list?

It educated students about the historical trends of the development of toilets and gives researchers information about the materials, designs and technologies that have been adopted in the past. It is also interesting to look at – you know, because you can relate to it in a way – we all use the toilet.
