Several years ago I visited a museum that had exhibits of different
animal poop preserved and labeled in the restroom.  I was really impressed
and thought it was a great idea.  As a mother I can't tell you how many
times my children have stopped durinmg a walk in the woods to investigate
the scat left by an animal.  The restroom exhibit gives urban children the
same experience.  I can't seem to remember the museum but I do remember
the restroom exhibits.
