Sanitary garden
The Sanitary garden is an art exhibition in Chandigarh, India consisting of sculptures made from toilets and other sanitary items.[1][2][3][4]
Kala Sagar (Hindi word which means Ocean of Art) is the unique government museum where world’s largest collection of art created purely from damaged, discarded or waste sanitary ware items is exhibited. The collection of artworks was created by the artist Vijay Pal Goel, who founded the project in 1998.[5] The Sanitary Garden is situated in sector 36-D, Chandigarh UT, India.[6][7]
The main objective of the artist behind this unique art is to generate mass awareness for reuse of waste materials for environment protection, treatment of the special children and established a tourist place for the special people such as mentally challenged people, visually impaired and physically handicapped.
The artist was honoured by The Governor of Punjab with the prestigious State Award on the Indian Independence Day (15 August 1998) for his tremendous contribution and excellent work in the field of art.
