THE ART MUSEUM TOILET MUSEUM OF ART - NOW ACCEPTING IMAGES
World-renowned Collection’s First-Ever Call For Submissions
New York, NY, — The Art Museum Toilet Museum of Art, the world’s
largest collection of images of art museum toilets taken at various art
museums around the world, is seeking to add to its unique collection
through a call for submissions from other art museum art toilet
aficionados.
The site currently houses exclusive images ranging from the
prestigious marble lavatory at the Metropolitan Museum of New York,
behind-closed-doors shots of the Hermitage’s latrines and the decaying
(yet still flushing) pictures of the MongolianArt Museum’s commodes.
“Our collection is one-of-a-kind, yet we realize that in today’s
globalized world that it is important to expand our collection of
images,” stated R. M. Schlemielle, Director of The Art Museum Toilet
Museum of Art. “We are seeking to have an image from every museum on
the globe represented in our collection.”
The Art Museum Toilet Museum of Art was officially founded in 2005
and since its inception, staff members have tirelessly been collecting
images from around the world. Believed by experts to be the world’s
largest, it was built to showcase the forgotten art that can be found
in every museum.
By opening its doors and asking the public to add to its collection,
the museum is entering an exciting new chapter for both the museum and
the art world.
The official submission process includes sending an image to:
submissions@artmuseumtoilet.org. Museum officials ask that each image
be labeled with the name of the museum, the day the photo was taken and
the name of the photographer. All will be posted if the image is
selected.
"The Art Museum Toilet Museum of Art was founded in the spirit
of Marcel Duchamp, who in 1917 produced the sculpture “Fountain” and
changed the way we view art," Schlemielle said. "This piece
essentially showcased that art may not be hanging in the proud walls of
a museum gallery, but in the common objects of everyday life -- even in
the restroom. This website is asking some of the same questions about
the current art establishment and questions what defines high brow
art."
