Pooseum

Overview

For those thinking "Oh, what a load of crap!" — well, yes, but it's an incredibly well thought-out load of crap. If you're always looking to sniff out a truly unique experience, then the charmingly titled Pooseum is sure to be a hit. The museum gets to the bottom of all the burning questions about poo, like the role it plays in various ecosystems and the different ways waste is passed through the digestive tracts of all manner of animals through a range of informative and — entirely sanitary — interactive displays. There's even real dinosaur and Tasmanian devil dung to be seen.

The Pooseum is located in the historic town of Richmond, just 25 minutes out of Hobart, so, if you're already planning a Tassie escape, it's an easy trip from the capital.
