Sulabh International Museum of Toilets

Have you ever wondered what a museum dedicated entirely to the history of toilets would be like? If so, come and visit the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets in New Delhi, India. Established in 1995, it is hailed as one of the quirkiest museums in the world.

The founder of the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets is Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, who has dedicated himself to promoting modern sanitation systems in India to improve living conditions for the country’s underprivileged amid extremely poor hygiene conditions. Thousands of years ago, people had no knowledge of sanitary washrooms, sewers, or toilets. At the Sulabh Museum of Toilets, visitors can marvel at a wide variety of toilet devices in all shapes and sizes. The toilets on display here date back hundreds of years, with the oldest tracing the role of toilets in “helping the world” as far back as recorded history allows.

The establishment of the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets aims to educate the public about the history of toilet development and also provides valuable references for those researching toilets, including information on designs, materials, and technical requirements.
