Exhibit Overview

Gallery Entrance
Meet Her Grossness, an animated character that towers over the top of an 8’ x 8’ book replica, and introduces you to GROSSOLOGY. The gallery entrance area is 16’ x 16’ and is decorated with many books from Her Grossness’ library.

Nigel Nose-It-All
Visitors activate this animatronic exhibit by pressing one of five buttons to learn about how their nose functions including allergies, sinuses, snot trivia, runny noses and more.

In addition, microscopes at the exhibits base feature slides of things that cause runny noses. The animatronic figure (over 9-feet tall) moves its head, arms, eyelids, handle and a special snot ball drops out of his faucet nose at various times during his presentation.

Climbing Wall
This large-scale fiberglass replica of human skin features pimples, warts, wounds, hair, moles and other skin blemishes. Visitors discover many features of the skin as they climb across this wall (12’ w x 9’ h by 3’ d).

Burp Man
A larger than life cartoon character drinks from a three-foot pop can pumped by visitors. The stomach pressure increases until the character releases a giant burp, while a second interactive exhibit shows how the sphincter works.

Patients Please!
Visitors learn their body parts in this activity styled ala the old famous game “Operation”. Visitors can attempt to remove body parts from the game table without touching the sides of the holes. Lots of fun!
