PITTSBURGH -- The latest exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Oakland is all about waste.

There's much to learn in the world of feces, and you can get educated by stopping by the museum.

"Some people may hear about this exhibit and think it sounds gross or weird or funny, and they're right, it's all of that," said Ellen James of the museum. "But you're actually going to learn a lot about the science of poop."

The display is designed with children in mind, the museum said. Kids can play "turd trivia" and other interactive games, and learn about the uses of waste, such as fertilizer.

"It's an issue of how we dispose of it," James said. "Some people build houses out of it and even have recreation like cow-chip tossing, so there is a wide world of poop."
