The poo museum? Is this serious? Oh well, Midas Dekkers has written a whole book about it, so you can probably fill a museum with it. Il Museo della Merda, and for those interested abroad also: The Shit Museum. Freshly played… er, founded in 2015.
Artworks
They obviously offer a 'shit show' and 'shit tv'. All kinds of works of art are on display, new technologies can be viewed in which poo is converted into useful things (fuel, for example), but also age-old techniques for making building blocks from cow dung (for sale in the museum), in a modern jacket. The museum also appears to have a Dutch touch. A project of the Design Academy in Eindhoven is described on the website: eat shit.
Where to with the manure?
The idea of creating a Museo della Merda stems from the experience of an innovative farmer who has many cows and had to do something with the manure. The museum starts with this farmer where modern techniques to convert poop into energy and other useful end products are in operation. The rest of the shit museum is housed in a castle next to the farm.
If you are near Piacenza are… go check it out and tell us your experiences. Currently the museum is open by appointment only.
And please don't complain to us if it turns out to be a shit museum!
