A toilet museum meets decades of sublime sanitation

In India, the name Sulabh is synonymous with public restrooms. The organization’s founder, Bindeshwar Pathak, is a giant in the world of toilets, right alongside John Harrington, inventor of the flush toilet, and Thomas Crapper, who did the plumbing for Buckingham Palace. 

Sulabh facilities are everywhere throughout India. Over the past 50 years, the organization says it has built more than 1.5 million toilets.
