Museums as repositories for the preservation and exhibition of the objects of historical, scientific and cultural interest are found all over the world. But rare are the museums that display the evolution of toilets and their various designs used in different countries at different points of time. The following Links pay tribute to that much-maligned toilet which is such an important part of our everyday life.
