Did You See This?

The Golden Toilet at the Guggenheim

It’s fully functional.

At the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, a fully functional, 18-karat gold toilet awaits visitors.

See it for yourself in this episode of the charming YouTube series “Golden Thrones,” above, which explores the best and strangest public restrooms in the country. The golden toilet, titled America, came to be earlier this year when artist Maurizio Cattelan replaced a toilet in one of the museum’s single-occupancy restrooms. Visitors wait in long lines to see the piece, so ironically, it’s probably best to go to the bathroom beforehand.
