Description

The award-winning Pooseum is a one-of-a-kind science museum dedicated to the fascinating world of animal droppings. As the only museum of its kind, the Pooseum takes a serious, educational approach to the topic. With over 50 informational panels, 40 touch-screen videos, and various interactive displays, it provides an in-depth exploration of the science of faeces. Visitors can compare the droppings of a wide range of animals from Australia and around the world. In the Digestion Room, they can learn how carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores process food differently. Unique artworks by local and international artists, crafted from animal dung or parts of animals' digestive tracts, add a creative element to the experience. The museum's Pootrid Shop offers an array of educational books, gifts, and other poo-related products. The minimum age for entry is eight years old. In 2023, the Pooseum was voted "MOST INNOVATIVE MUSEUM" in the annual global Travel & Tourism Awards, held by LUXlife Magazine in the UK.
