Prior to the theft, visitors to the Cattelan exhibition could book a three-minute appointment to use the toilet. This had proved popular when the toilet was on display at the Guggenheim.

A unique solid gold toilet that was part of an art exhibit was stolen early Saturday from the magnificent home in England where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born. The toilet, valued at roughly 1 million pounds ($1.25 million), was the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. It had been installed only two days earlier at Blenheim Palace, west of London, after previously being shown to appreciative audiences at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Police said the toilet was taken early Saturday by thieves who used at least two vehicles. Because it had been connected to the palace's plumbing system, police said the toilet's removal caused "significant damage and flooding" to the building, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture.

It was an obvious Agitprop response to the bourgeoisie clogging up the Brexit.

That is not the most expensive toilet I have ever seen but it’s a solid #2.

Can you make several appointments in a row?

I have a feeling this is what most of the OT’s toilets look like.

Fun fact, before the turlet was stole, you could pay to use it as a turlet.

They was smart enough to have a time limit on it.

Blenheim is beautiful, nearby Bladon is worth the visit if only to pay respects to Churchill.

seems like if it were actually "solid gold" it would be worth a hell of a lot more than $1MM even just from a gold weight standpoint.
