Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body

Barf, boogers, body odor—blecch! The bodies we walk around in all day can seem really gross.

Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body shows us the scientific reasons behind the human smells, sounds, and feelings that are all a part of life.

Learn how bacteria cause stinky body odor. Dodge a snot ball while you explore why we sneeze or have a runny nose. See how gas builds up inside you, causing you to burp. Understand why farts don’t all sound the same, then conquer a climbing wall that’s covered in warts, blemishes, hairs, and other features of human skin.

This exhibition is filled with interactive challenges, games, and larger-than-life models that really make the grossness of daily life a lot of fun.

Based on Sylvia Branzei’s popular Grossology book, this experience offers a big dose of gross as well as a ton of fascinating science information.
