Kohler's bathroom and art and artsy bathrooms

Everyone in Wisconsin and else where has heard all the rage of Kohler bathroom products. I've noticed that Kohler has quite the creative advertising. Probably the most creative advertising they have is at the John Michael Kohler Art Museum in which I had the pleasure of visiting yesterday with the painting organization at UW-Milwaukee.
