The exhibition 'Excreta' of Ciudad Ciencia will change the perception about feces (21/02/2018)

It can be visited at the House of Culture from March 2 to 19 |

That the largest jagged animal that exists is also the author of the most expensive deposition, known as ambergris, or that feces were already used by Chinese medicine in the fourth century to treat gastric disorders are some of the data offered by the Excreta exhibition.

Made by the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN) of the CSIC, the exhibition can be visited from 2 to 19 March at the House of Culture José Yagüe de Jumilla from Monday to Friday, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

It will also be possible to see her in the morning by appointment through the educational centers.

The exhibition, which aims to change the perception of feces, is divided into two areas.

The first of these, excreta in nature, focuses on the presence of these residues in the animal and plant world, where their function is more important than it seems.

You can see coprophagous animals, fossilized feces that speak of remote times, plants that poison their competitors and even molluscs whose secretions, the pearls, are real gems.

In the second part, excreta in society, the role of excrement in different cultures is addressed, relevant aspects of the excreta for health, the influence that sometimes has on our behavior or the evolution of the toilet and toilet paper up the news

It also explains the importance of wastewater and the recycling of excrement to prevent the poor management of excreta involves risks to public health and the environment.

The activity is part of Science City, a dissemination project that the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the Obra Social La Caixa launched and which Jumilla, through its Youth Council, joined at the end of 2015 .
