Today’s theme is ‘quirky’, and Jersey Heritage is promising a series of weird and wonderful objects ranging from sandcastles to toys and surrealist photographs.
Pictured: A sandcastle will be among the exhibits.
But, if there’s one object likely to leave visitors flush-tered, it’s the curious golden loo.
Conservators told Express: The toilet comes from the shipwreck of the Paris, a steamship that sank off Jersey in 1862. The only other ship’s toilet of this period comes from an American warship dating from their civil war a couple of years later.
“Apparently, the American one was being put forward as the first flushing toilet on a ship, however, ours pre-dates it.”
Pictured: The Meet the Collections event will be taking place at the Sir Francis Cook Gallery in Trinity.
Islanders will be able to see the bog from a bygone era until 14:00.
Attendees are welcome to park next door to the gallery at the Blacksmiths Arms pub.
