As a person with a master's degree in architecture, I am also puzzled by this oversight. Usually the number of toilets is governed by building codes, which are dictated by the number of users of the building. While there is some controversy as to the parity between men's facilities and women's facilities, there should have been an appropriate number of total toilets for the entire museum. There also should have been a governmental board that approved the plans, and managed the compliance with these codes. Maybe the appropriate question is, how many people is this facility designed to hold? And are they far exceeding this number in order to accomodate the public demand?
