Speaking to the
Isle of Wight County Press, a spokesperson said the special event "is set to be the place to immerse oneself in the wonder of excrement while finding out lots of extraordinary nuggets of information about all things poo-y. Kids will love it!
"It’s stinky, unpleasant and sometimes dangerous stuff — but it’s all around us and inside us too — and perhaps surprisingly our planet would be a much poorer place without it."

Visitors to the museum can look forward to exhibits, including a number of excrement samples. There will be freeze-dried poo and specimens from a number of species, including meerkats, foxes, cows, owls and even human babies.
There will even be a 38 million-year-old fecal specimen to marvel at.
The Poo Museum opens on the
Isle of Wight Zoo from March 25. Be sure to bring hand sanitiser.
