Apr 28, 2020 (soranews24.com) - The Unko Museum reconnects you with your poop and takes your mind off the crap of social distancing.
It’s been just over a year since Japan opened a pop-up museum dedicated to all things poop in Yokohama, in Tokyo’s neighbouring Kanagawa Prefecture. Called the Unko Museum (literally “Poo Museumâ€), the pop-up proved to be so successful that it even slid into Tokyo afterwards, where it attracted crowds of turd lovers…until COVID-19 showed up in the capital, causing the facility to close its doors as a safety precaution.
However, where one sphincter closes, another opens, and for the Unko Museum that means the Internet has opened up a new portal for the “Max Unko Kawaii†extravaganza to be delivered to the poop-loving public.
Starting from 1 May, select displays from the museum of poo will be available to view online, as part of the country’s “Stay Home Week†initiative designed to keep people indoors during the Golden Week holiday period that runs from 29 April to 6 May.
Visitors to the real museum walk through a number of different areas that play on “un“, the Japanese word for “poo“, and the virtual experience uses the same spaces, starting with the “Unteractive Area“.
