TAMPA, Fla. — The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) in Tampa has launched a new exhibit this fall called “Grossology.”

Presented by Florida Blue, it’s an exploration of what the MOSI CEO John Smith calls “the impolite science of the human body.”


At MOSI's "Grossology" exhibit, you can:

  • The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) in Tampa has launched a new exhibit this fall called “Grossology”

  • Attendees can pump "Burp Man" full of soda and watch him belch

  • You can also test your nostrils to find out whether a smell comes from your mouth, armpit or foot 

  • And you can talk to Nigel Nose-It-All about what makes our noses run

“It’s all about the disgusting stuff that happens in your body that we normally don’t talk about,” he said. “It’s a safe place for kids and their adults to explore the body and what makes them tick.”

The exhibit is based on the best-selling non-fiction children’s book by Sylvia Branzei.

"Grossology" will be at MOSI through Jan. 5. MOSI is open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Regular admission to the museum covers the cost of visiting Grossology.
