Theme park devoted to Toilets takes off in South Korea -
Spot the odd one out: museum, paintings, sculptures, toilets.
Sorry, trick question.
Earlier this year, the South Korean city of Suwon opened a theme park devoted exclusively to the culture of toilets.
It has bronze figures in various positions and various facial expressions answering the call of nature, a bowl-shaped exhibition hall, toilet-themed paintings, poop-shaped souvenirs and “Washroom” signs from around the world.
The museum used to be a house built by Suwon’s former mayor, Sim Jae-duck, reportedly born in his grandmother’s toilet. He is said to have been so embarrassed with South Korea’s backward public conveniences that he turned his obsession with them into a campaign for improvement in the 1980s.
About 16 of Suwon’s public toilets are listed as tourist sites on the city’s website and are part of a “Beautiful Public Restroom Tour” program. And yes, it attracts tourists from all over the world.
The theme park is not about scatological humour, though. It has messages of health, sanitation and water conversation.
