Located in the historic village of Richmond, Tasmania, the Pooseum is Australia's only science museum dedicated exclusively to animal droppings. This award-winning attraction offers over 50 informative panels and 40 interactive touch-screen videos, providing an in-depth exploration of the science of faeces. Visitors can compare the droppings of various animals from Australia and around the world, and in the Digestion Room, learn about the digestive systems of carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. Unique artworks by local and international artists, crafted from animal dung or parts of animals' digestive tracts, add a creative element to the experience. The museum's Pootrid Shop offers an array of educational books, gifts, and other poo-related products. The minimum age for entry is eight years old. In 2023, the Pooseum was voted "MOST INNOVATIVE MUSEUM" in the annual global Travel & Tourism Awards, held by LUXlife Magazine in the UK.
