The highlight over our Chuseok Break was, of course, Mr. Toilet House. The only toilet museum in the world within a toilet-shaped house! (Definitely not the only toilet museum; if anyone’s interested in an around-the-world-toilet-museum extravaganza, please do let us know.)
Here now, is the long awaited toilet house tour, complete with an original King 5 News (not so) live report.
The person behind (ha!) the Mr. Toilet House was Sim Jae-duck who, who according to the brochure, “lived the life in full and passionate devotion to develop the toilet culture movement.”
He was the mayor of Suwon (where the house is) and built this toilet shaped house to spread awareness. He lived in it for two years until he died. After his death, his wife turned it into a museum.
And, there was a lovely garden with a variety of sculptures surrounding the house.
I certainly hope the restrooms were clearly marked!
kinda weird…but fascinating that they’d dedicate a whole museum to this subject.
