One of the few world museums dedicated to toilets is in Kiev, the capital of independent Ukraine bombed by Russian troops. It is worth paying him a virtual visit before the “collateral damage” accidentally destroys its unique collections.
The Toilet History Museum is a private museum founded in Kiev by a married couple of businessmen and hygiene history enthusiasts, Nikolay and Marina Bogdanenko. It was opened in September 2007. It is on the list of the 10 most popular and interesting museums in Ukraine.
It is located in "Tower number 5", on Rybalska Street No. 22. The tower was part of the fortifications of the Kyiv Fortress and was finished in 1846 for a Russian army as a warehouse with provisions and ammunition. Today, the tower houses one of the largest business centers in Kiev and the world's largest collection of toilets and related souvenirs, which was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
The museum's exhibits are arranged chronologically according to the history of human development: "Prehistory", "Antiquity", "Middle Ages", "Rebirth", "XVII - XXI Century" and "ART WC".
We invite you to visit it, temporarily virtually, in person in the near future!
