Crush: Poop Exhibit

Poop exhibitEverybody does it

It’s something every human has in common with one another. It’s something we share not only with our mammalian brothers and sisters, but also with animals across the evolutionary spectrum. When we are healthy, it happens once a day, and is often punctuated by variances in our diet. It’s poop, and it’s touring museums around the United States.

Now, while your first reaction may be to opt-out of being interested with the classic ‘ick-factor’ elicited by most poop-talk, promoters of the traveling exhibit, ‘The Scoop on Poop’ are hoping you don’t. The exhibit plays to American curiosity at an opportunity to learn the down and dirty of the animal kingdom’s private business.

‘The Scoop on Poop’ is 5000 square feet large and, according to the Associated Press, features photos of various animals as they make butt gravy, as well as full scale models of the results of their labors. Right now the traveling poo show is on its second stop, in Miami, after debuting in Virginia.

If you can’t make it to Miami to learn about how animals drop friends off at the pool, fear not, footage from a commercial for the exhibit has already wound up on YouTube.
