This may sound like a strange museum, but as with any museum, it does serve a purpose. 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.
