The National Poo Museum, Britain’s first museum dedicated to human and animal excrement, has recently opened at the Isle of Wight Zoo.
The highlight of the exhibition is that the museum features 18 samples of feces, including those from human baby and from an adult lion.
Each sample of feces is in dried form and is displayed in a glass orb that can be illuminated with the push of a button.
The signature one among all these exhibits are a a specimen believed to be 38 million years old, a poo with teeth and bones in it, and feces that look like cereal bars.
Apart from those of human beings’, samples from an owl, pigeon, cow, and fox are also included.
Such an unusual idea was from Daniel Roberts, an inventor and social entrepreneur from the Isle of Wight, and was created by the artists’ collective Eccleston George.
The group has built a special excrement drying machine to desiccate each sample before it is encapsulated.
