Guided tour of the special exhibition "Toilet & Co. - sanitary ceramics from the outhouse to the high-tech toilet"


On Sunday, 5 November 2023 at 2 pm, Porzellanikon - State Museum for Porcelain, Selb will hold a guided tour of the current special exhibition "Klo & Co. - Sanitary Ceramics from the Outhouse to the High-Tech Toilet". The tour of the exhibition focuses on a topic that is relevant to everyone, but that hardly anyone talks about: the toilet. How did people go to the toilet before the invention of the flush toilet and how has the "quiet little place" developed over time? In addition to all sorts of interesting, funny and bizarre things about the water closet, museum visitors can marvel at Empress Sisi's bidet and a wash set from King Ludwig II. The exhibition also shows the challenges faced by astronauts in space and what toilets in prisons and motorway service stations have in common.

Price: Adults pay €1.00 Sunday admission plus €3.50 for the guided tour. Children under 18 are free. Bookings can be made at besuchercenter@porzellanikon.org or by calling +49 9287 918000.

Address: Werner-Schürer-Platz 1, 95100 Selb.
