If you are in Prague and have some spare time for something extra besides sightseeing, I highly recommend to take a tram number 17, get off on Výtoň and visit
Museum of toilets and chamber pots. Unique place. What it is not? Tourist attraction. Before I first time went there I basically thought it would be just another museum of curiosities. Simply the kind of stuff as torturing, sex or chocolate museums are...
The true is that this is a real excursion into history of - let´s say - human digesting and emptying in general:)
The collection currently comprises around 2,000 exhibits and it is the largest of its kind in the world!!! They present chamber pots of different shapes, materials and uses. Furthermore, there are also toilet chests, chairs, tabourets, coach closets and even painted water closets. From ordinary to magnificent and precious gems with their history, from America to Australia. You can see the chamber pots made for Napoleon Bonaparte, the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House or the Chinese Emperor Qianlong, etc.
How to reach the museum? Plan your trip to
Vyšehrad and make aprox. 1,5h stop in this museum, it is just nearby. You will love it. And you will love your toilet after seeing everything...
