Melbourne is now home to the Unko Museum, an immersive and interactive experience with a focus on cute poo.
The exhibit is in the Japanese kawaii style. It is a colourful space with light walls, games, displays, installations and photo opportunities.
The cutesy attraction offers experiences such as the ‘Crappy Game Corner’, and a kawaii poop-themed Unko Factory shop.
Guests can also chase projected poops in one exhibit, and in another they can stomp on colourful craps to earn points.
There are plenty of colourful toilets on view in the Unko Museum, as well as a supermarket display of faeces-related products.
The pop-up museum has already enjoyed a successful tour through Japan.
Masaru Kobayashi, director of T Museum, the company behind the Unko Museum, told the Guardian: “For Japanese people, it is an ordinary thing to enjoy as a kind of entertainment. You can find something kawaii in anything.”
Australia is already home to a poo museum, the Pooseum in Richmond, Tasmania. The science museum is dedicated to all things poo, according to the website.
