Home | Sulabhmuseum top of page Welcome to Sulabh International Museum of Toilets Established in 1992 by the esteemed social reformer Dr  Bindeshwar Pathak, founder of the Sulabh Sanitation Movement and recipient of the Stockholm Water Prize and Padma Vibhushan, the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets offers a unique glimpse into the history of sanitation. Introducing “Toilet Tales” – A New Gallery at the Sulabh Campus We are pleased to announce the opening of our newest gallery, “Toilet Tales,” at the Sulabh Campus in New Delhi. Now open to visitors, this unique exhibition adds a new dimension to the renowned Sulabh International Museum of Toilets. The gallery traces the evolution of sanitation in Britain from the early 1800s to the early 1900s — a period that transformed hygiene, public health, and everyday life. Featuring original fixtures from Victorian and Edwardian England, including water closets, cisterns, chamber pots, bathtubs, signage, and personal hygiene items, the exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into the development of modern sanitation. Beyond design and technology, the gallery highlights the social and public health changes that shaped sanitation history, presenting toilets not only as functional objects but as reflections of cultural change and human progress. The gallery is open to all visitors and invites everyone to explore this remarkable journey of innovation and ingenuity. Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak Memorial Centre The Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak Memorial Centre, inaugurated on April 2, 2025, at Sulabh Gram in New Delhi, stands as a tribute to the life and legacy of Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, the visionary founder of Sulabh International and a pioneer of India’s sanitation movement. This Centre is dedicated to preserving and showcasing Dr. Pathak’s lifelong mission to promote dignity, social reform, and environmental sanitation. The Memorial Centre offers an immersive experience that chronicles Dr. Pathak’s transformative journey—from his groundbreaking efforts to eradicate manual scavenging to his innovations in eco-friendly sanitation technologies. Through interactive exhibits, multimedia installations, and curated displays, visitors gain insight into his enduring impact on public health, social justice, and sustainable development. Located within the campus of the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets, the Centre complements the museum’s global narrative on sanitation history by focusing on Dr. Pathak’s contributions to India’s sanitation revolution. It serves as both an educational hub and a space for reflection, inspiring future generations to continue his mission of inclusive and sustainable sanitation for all.
