THAT IS TOO FUNNY!  OK, as a mother of a 2-year old, I am not so sure I'd
really want to encourage "touching the poo poo".  However, as a historian
and assistant to an archeologist, I can see the relevance.  And yes, at the
museum where I was Education Director, we would have installed that
exhibition.  Thanks for the post.

I thought the exhibition folks would be interested in this
article a friend pointed me towards.
How would you approach the powers that be about putting
this 'hands on' exhibit up in your museum?
Would you be able to get this installed in your museum?
Are there health issues that would prevent this exhibit from
being installed in this country?
