Suwon, Korea Gets Theme Park For Toilets

Posted on July 6, 2012 by JohnnyC

The city of Suwon, Korea has a museum dedicated to the one place where even the Kaiser must sit down: the toilet. Yes, you read that correctly: there is a museum and public park dedicated to toilets in Korea. At least you won’t have to endure long queues between rides since there will be some sort of toilet everywhere, featuring latrines from different cultures and time periods in history.

Oh, Mr. Toilet. What would we do without you? Finished by 2007 and donated to the public in 2009, the toilet-shaped house was once the home of founder Sim Jae-Duck (who actually was known as Mr. Toilet). Sim’s accomplishments include founding the World Toilet Association (not to be confused with the World Toilet Organization).
