An Italian artist, Maurizio Cattelan, has created a fully functional 18-carat solid gold toilet for the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and, it is open for public use! The gold toilet is a symbolic work of art aptly named 'America', and it is meant to remind us our excessive love for material wealth.
The unique thing about the toilet is, it is not exclusive for the wealthy, rather, it is the opposite.
Members of the public are invited to use the toilet for a price of the standard fee for admission into the museum. You pay the Museum fee, sit on 'America' and do your business.
