You can take your time looking at Barney Smith's hundreds of toilet seats that he masterfully created with too many themes to even mention. Go see it! Brong your dog. All dogs on a leash are welcome.
(February 8, 2019, 11:08 am)REALLY, REALLY, REALLY awesome place to visit. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but this guys loves his art and is very passionate about it. He did all the art himself and is still making new ones at 90 something years old!
He has a lot of great stories and he has been on several national television shows throughout the years. He has a video tape looping on a TV that shows his television appearances. There are also a lot of newspaper clippings in the museum talking about him.
I won't lie to you and say it is something fancy - it's actually in his detached garage on the back of the property, but it is still FUN and he is a great guy to talk to.
He loves visiting with out of town visitors as well as SA natives.
Call him before you go so he can make arrangements to open up. He's not open all the time but will open up if you give him a couple of hours notice.

(June 10, 2018, 2:17 pm)This place is the best! Do yourself a favor a put it on your list of places to visit. Every single toilet is amazing and you can see how much time and effort went into each and every one of them. Truly a one of a kind place!
(June 9, 2018, 2:33 pm)A real one of a kind experience! There's something in there for everyone. not sure what to expect when you come into a residential neighborhood to see a toilet seat Museum. Bernie's world famous there's newspaper clippings magazines and TV appearances throughout the museum. If it wasn't for the Texas heat you could spend hours in there and not see it all. Bernie himself has that Southern Charm and a great personality it's amazing that he is 97 years old and he is still creating this art for the world to see. These photos definitely don't do this place justice there are what seems like thousands of art pieces.
