Kyiv’s Toilet History Museum is flush with toilet facts and legends you probably didn’t learn in a history class. You’ll discover how toilets looked 5,000 years ago, why medieval toilets were called “wardrobes,” and how a toilet invented by Leonardo da Vinci functioned. The toilet museum covers the many types of commodes throughout history, from Egyptian limestone toilet seats to the mechanics of a modern-day loo. It aims to explore culture and history through the lens of an everyday experience shared by people around the world. The museum contains the largest collection of toilet souvenirs in the world (listed in the Guinness Book of Records). Among 600 toilet trinkets, you’ll find traditional statuettes of the porcelain throne as well as various ashtrays, key rings, lighters, and tobacco pipes in the form of a water-closet. You can also see different toiletries, like the tools people once used instead of soap.
