Haewoojae Toilet Museum
해우재
A museum in a toilet-shaped residence built by the former mayor of Suwon, which humorously presents the history of toilet culture.
Haewoojae was built in 2007 by former Suwon mayor Sim Jae-deok as a toilet-shaped house and later converted into a museum. Its name comes from the Korean temple term for the toilet, “haewoso,” meaning a place for relieving worries. The museum introduces toilet development around the world, and the outdoor park features whimsical toilet sculptures and ancient chamber pots, making it good for families. Admission is free. Open 10:00–18:00, closed on Mondays. It is located in Jangan District in northern Suwon, about 10 minutes by taxi from Seongkyunkwan University Station.
