Ever had an experience on a gold toilet?
Well, a visit to the Guggenheim Museum in US can give you a chance to use 18 karet solid gold functional toilet.
The piece of art shall be installed in the bathroom of the museum which is not just for viewing but can be used as well.
"You can lock the door and have your experience, whether that be just looking at the toilet or using it," Guggenheim publicist Molly Stewart told the New York Daily News.
Titled 'Maurizio Cattelan: America', it is the first time a toilet will be made available for public use at the museum and shall replace one of the Kohler toilets in the museum.
Maurizio Cattelan, maker of the toilet, told the New York Times that he alluded to economic inequality as a theme of the toilet piece, but said the meaning is left up to the seer - or the sitter.
"It's not my job to tell people what a work means. But I think people might see meaning in this piece," Cattelan said.
The museum said in a statement that the piece "makes available to the public an extravagant luxury product seemingly intended for the 1 per cent."
