The Einstein Sink is an antique sink that has been kept and used throughout the years by the Physics faculty of Leiden University in The Netherlands. This sink has stood in the large lecture room of the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory from 1920 until 1997, afterwards it was moved to the 'De Sitterzaal' of the J.H. Oortbuilding in the Leiden Bio Science Park In both cases the sink stood in the largest classroom of the building and because of that has been used by many famous physicists during and after their lectures. A short list of the most famous users includes; Paul Ehrenfest, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, Hendrik Antoon Lorentz and Albert Einstein. In 2015 the sink appeared several times in local media because it was threatened to disappear during the upcoming relocation of the physics faculty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Red de wasbak van Einstein' (Save the Einstein Sink in Dutch) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Help!
