A representative told the Isle of Wight County Press "It's stinky, obnoxious and sometimes dangerous stuff — however it's all around us and inside us as well — and our planet would be a much poorer spot without it."
The museum "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!” the spokeswoman said.
We agree it's about time that we quit treating poop so crappy and give it some identification.

The museum will include relics, for example, freeze-dried poo, poop hanging from the ceiling and poop from various different species like meerkats, foxes, cows, owls and even human babies.
There will even be a 38 million-year-old fecal specimen.
