‘Snot so gross as it seems

Welcome to the world of Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body, a science-in-disguise exhibition where kids get the answers to many of the slimy, oozy, crusty, stinky questions they absolutely love to ask about the human body.

Grossology makes its debut at MOSI, Tampa’s Museum of Science & Industry, beginning September 14.

Based on the best-selling book, Grossology, this exhibition uses sophisticated animatronics and imaginative exhibits to tell you the good, the bad, and the downright ugly about runny noses, body odor, and much more!

An en-GROSS-ing good time is guaranteed in this interactive temporary exhibit, which is included with MOSI admission.

Grossology offers guests the chance to:

🩹 Climb a human skin wall with warts, hairs, wounds, and other objects that act as hand and foot holds. Here visitors discover more about features such as pimples, blisters, pores, bruises, and scabs as they relate to the epidermis.

🚽 Visit the Vomit center and learn the many reasons humans’ vomit. Or stop by the Toot Toot exhibit to create different sounds that replicate the physics of gas.

🥤 Help a larger-than-life cartoon character release a giant burp by pumping soda pop from a three-foot can to make him drink and increase his stomach pressure.

🍴 Learn how food is digested as it passes through the gastrointestinal system by watching an X-ray machine.

👃 Find out what causes runny noses, sneezes, and allergies with Nigel Nose-it-All. Microscope stations at this exhibit also feature things that cause runny noses.

💉 Play surgery and attempt to remove organ parts from a body without touching the sides of the patient.

🦨 Match the body odors with the correct area of the body: armpits, lower intestine, mouth, or feet.

🎮 Using a computer game, act as a kidney by using a trackball to grab waste elements and remove them from the bloodstream.

💡 Test their Grossology IQ with a multiple-choice challenge or play the Grossology CD with exploratory labs, puzzle games, and other computer activities.
