A museum has launched an exhibit on different types of poo in response to primary school pupils’ questions.

Thackray Museum of Medicine , in Leeds, West Yorks., opened the exhibit, simply named ‘POO!’ on Saturday, July 26.

Local primary school pupils had asked questions such as ‘why is a fart colourless?’ and ‘how do you get constipated?’, which led museum bosses to come up with the idea.
