South Korea 'First Toilet Theme Park'

From it's bowl shaped exhibition hall to the bronze figures, immortalized in mid squat - outside, everything about this theme park in South Korea points toward the smallest room in the house.

Officially opened early this year, the facility in the city of Suwon is reputed to be the first in the world to what happens when we answer the call of nature.

Quirkier exhibits include WC from all around the world and toilet-theme works of art, while visitors can remind themselves of their day perusing poop with appropriate shaped souvenirs.

The museum offers a very educational experiences as it explains the history of toilet and provide fun facts about human waste. The museum was a former home of the Suwon's Mayor, Sim Jae-duck. He was the inspiration of the theme park and he was called "Mr. Toilet". He died in 2009, but he spent his life campaigning for better toilets in the state. Those who visit the museum have the opportunity to use his original toilet, which include a full-length glass door that fogs up when being used.

While they not match with British obsession with scatological humour, the park popularity suggest that Koreans are less embarassed when it comes to celebrating the toilet and its central role in daily life.

The facility has a serious message; several exhibits are tend to raise awareness of public toilets and sanitation in the developing world.
