MMBT exterior.
In its day, the Madison Museum of Bathroom Tissue, established in 1992, was the largest and arguably most important bathroom tissue museum in the world. Before closing in 2000, "the MMBT" was located at 305 N. Hamilton in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, in a second-floor apartment three blocks from the state capitol. Besides its impressive collection of toilet paper from across the country and around the world, the museum featured an audio tour and informative displays detailing the history of toilet paper.
The collection
At its peak, the MMBT's permanent collection contained approximately 3,000 rolls of toilet paper. The toilet paper's origins ranged from the bathrooms of other museums, like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, to American tourist destinations like Wall Drug and Graceland. The museum also boasted extensive holdings of European, African, Australian, Canadian, and Mexican toilet paper as well as an encyclopedic collection of toilet paper from bars and restaurants located in Madison. The Manufacturers Wing contained a relatively small but interesting collection of retail samples donated by toilet paper manufacturers, many with headquarters in Wisconsin's Fox River Valley paper-producing area. Kimberly-Clark, which makes Cottonelle bathroom tissue, was one such contributor.
Contributions
Visitors to the museum were always encouraged to collect toilet paper during their own travels and donate it to the museum. Sometimes specific donations were sought, to expand particular museum collections such as de To Our Mothers, a display which boasted toilet paper taken from museumgoers mothers bathrooms. When the staff realized it had every contiguous U.S. state represented except for North Dakota, it went to the airwaves on North Dakota drive-time radio and sought mail-in donations. In addition to its normal hours, the MMBT frequently held evening social events to display recent acquisitions, welcome new visitors to the museum, and recruit more toilet-paper collectors. Those who regularly donated toilet paper were awarded membership complete with i.d. cards. The museum publications included brochures, a calendar, and the MMBT newsletter, wipe.
MMBT exhibit.
While the first museumgoers were largely University of Wisconsin students and Madison residents, the MMBT eventually found its way into numerous national magazines and travel guides, which resulted in people from around the country visiting the museum. The Madison Museum of Bathroom Tissue was eventually acknowledged by the Madison Chamber of Commerce and the Wisconsin Tourism Board as well. By the mid-to-late 1990s, the collection had grown to its peak size of 3,000 rolls and the MMBT member roster boasted nearly 25 dedicated collectors. Due to changes in staff availability, the MMBT began to limit visiting hours toward the end of the nineties. The museum closed its doors in December 2000 when the remaining live-in staff vacated the address to move away from Madison. The collection currently resides in Elgin, IL, kept in storage by new owners Caleb and Tracy Hanson.
Collection origins
The roll of toilet paper that would bring about the genesis of the MMBT was collected by Carol Kolb and Franzine Geis in 1992 from The Trophy Room, a tavern in Lodi, WI. A bartender gave the roll of toilet paper as a gift to the two friends, who had stated their need for toilet paper for Geis bathroom. At end, the young women did not use the toilet paper at Geis' Madison apartment and instead kept it as a souvenir of their evening in Lodi. The college students, who enjoyed the bars and restaurants outside Madison for the change of pace they offered from campus life and for the small towns' relaxed arding practices, made a pledge to collect further rolls of toilet paper from additional Wisconsin small towns. Once home, Geis used a Sharpie marker to write the name of the establishment where the toilet paper was collected, the city and state, and the date it had been procured. This would remain the official labeling system for the entire life of the museum.
Some months later, Geis moved into an apartment with Susan Hildebrandt, a longtime friend of Kolb, and the collection of about 15 rolls of toilet paper came with her. The collection continued to grow slowly but steadily as acquisitions from Madison-area taverns in Sun Prairie, Waunakee, and Verona were joined by those from wider variety of destinations throughout Wisconsin.
When Hildebrandt and Kolb moved into a summer sublet together in 1993, they brought around 100 rolls with them. (Some rolls may have remained with Geis, although the number is unclear.) Nicknamed variously he Crypt, and the...(and so on) To get More information , you can visit some products about , . The CP-8866 Sheared Rabbit Knitted Shawl products should be show more here!
