British Open Museum of Poop

This British Poo Museum Is Literally Full Of Crap

Highlights:

1.) Headline: This British Poo Museum Is Literally Full Of Crap

2.) At the very end:

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the National Poo Museum was the first dedicated to poop.

3.) Yes, it turns out the British were beaten to the punch:

Although it’s billed as the first-ever museum devoted to number two, that statement may have been made in the flush of publicity.

Turns out Italy opened one last year in the small town of Castelbosco, according to the media company Milk.

In addition, back in 2012, the city of Suwon, South Korea, opened Mr. Toilet House, a museum and park that features statues of humans and animals going to the bathroom, according to Kotaku.com.

4.)

To make sure the museum’s poo didn’t stink, the curators had to build a special dung dryer, said co-curator Daniel Roberts.
“A stick insect poo can be desiccated completely in an hour or so, but a lion poo can take a fortnight to dry out,” Roberts said, according to NDTV.com.

This is useful to know.

5.) It’s at the Isle of Wight Zoo, in case you’re interested. Their website: https://poo-museum.github.io/daily-poo/info/
6.) Quote:

Created by members of the artist collective Eccleston George, the ‘National Poo Museum’ is aimed to change the way people think and feel about faeces.

It wouldn’t surprise me. In the book Roadside America, they have a page devoted to poop-related gifts from American roadside attractions. I think the British are at least as perverse as Americans.

Here’s a typical item

actual moose poop, dried and lacquered, for you to stir your drink with. Other examples include keychain fobs and decorative plaques.

I don’t go in for these, myself, but apparently there is a market for them.

A few years ago took my grandsons to the Seattle Center. One of the exhibits at that time at the Science Center had to do with poo. They even had a much larger than life inflatable colon. The best part of that was the exit only sign at the anal orifice.

But does it cost money to visit there?

I mean, is there a fee, see?

I’ll get me hat…

The Poop Museum should feature this style of restaurant.
