Fritz Lischka, a former manager at the Laufen ceramics factory, founded this collection in 1988 to document the evolution of sanitary installations. The exhibition emerged from a desire to reveal the technological progress made in this everyday area of life.
The museum presents the evolution of hygiene standards and toilet designs from basic chamber pots to modern water closet systems across different periods.
The visit is made easy by the layout across multiple accessible rooms that are simple to walk through at your own pace. Plan enough time to slowly explore the different phases of sanitary technology and notice the many details displayed.
The collection emphasizes products from the local Laufen ceramics factory, reflecting the region's long tradition of ceramic manufacturing. This focus makes the exhibition a window into regional industrial history that visitors often overlook.
