The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York is inviting people to use 18-karat Gold toilet.
Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan replaced the toilet in the museum’s fourth-floor restroom with a fully functional replica cast in 18-karat gold.
Museum has invited viewers to use this solid gold toilet just as they would any other facility.
This is Cattelan’s first piece exhibited since his 2011 retrospective at the Guggenheim. The viewers will be allowed to use the same from Friday.
“The exhibit offers a wink to the excesses of the art market but also evokes the American dream of opportunity for all,” says the museum on its website.
