Haewoojae Museum is the world's only toilet-shaped museum. Its name means "a house to relieve one’s concerns," a term used in temples when referring to the restroom. It includes an exhibition hall, a library, and an experience center. The permanent exhibition on the first floor introduces the history and science of toilets from the 1950s to the present. The second floor hosts special exhibitions. The children's experience center offers the opportunity of learning about the digestive process in the human body.
