This unusual museum on the western edge of the capital traces the global history of sanitation and toilet technology from ancient times to the present. Run by a sanitation reform organisation, it displays chamber pots, privies, water closets and models illustrating waste disposal across cultures and centuries. Alongside curiosities such as ornate historical commodes, the exhibits carry a serious message about public health and dignity. The museum has drawn international attention for its offbeat subject and its advocacy of sanitation.
