World's Oddest Museums
Ah, the great museums of the world: the Louvre, the Met,
the Hermitage, the Sulabh International Museum of
Toilets. What? You’ve never heard of the toilet museum? And you call yourself cultured. Pshaw. OK, I’d never heard of it either. Nor several of the other rather odd museums mentioned in this piece by Jason Volker. Volker covers a lot of territory, spanning the globe in search of the weirdest places that people have collected weird things and put them on display for (let’s admit it) weird people.
Also making the list is the Meguro Parasitological Museum in Japan, and the British Lawnmower Museum in Lancashire, the kind of place that Monty Python fans would most definitely feel at home. So next time you're in India, drop in on the toilet museum. I've always wondered where all the toilets in India went.
