Tour de Nose & Other Gross Things

Mucus, vomit, and body odor. Excited yet? If your kids aren't totally grossed out to Grossologythe point beyond giggles then maybe something will sink into that brain of yours while touring these larger than life nostrils. I'm sure learning out sinuses and mucus production is pretty engaging. You'd be surprised. Either way exploring the (impolite) science of the human body sounds like a grand day trip if the exhibit should swing through your town. Inspired by Grossology books from Sylvia Branzei, the museum exhibit is touring nationwide grossing out the masses. USA Today has a piece on the author of the books and the purpose of all this sticky, snotty, and mucus filled business is about.
