A new pop-up museum in Japan is encouraging travelers to get over their self-consciousness about 'unko' (also known as 'poop' in English)
Drowned baby mice, bull penis and maggot cheese are just a few of the treats at Sweden's new Disgusting Food Museum ... and there's tasting involved!
"We believe that setting poo as entertainment, not a museum, is the first in the world," a representative for the Unko Museum tells CNN Travel.Visitors to the museum, which will be open through early August, can sit on brightly colored fake toilets, draw artistic representations of what their bowel movements look like, yell the word"unko" into a microphone, play in a ball pit full of stuffed poops and take selfies in front of pastel-colored stuffed excrement toys.
Like a real-life Willy Wonka creation, Candytopia provided real-life junk food against the backdrops of portraits of celebrities made out of M&Ms and Smarties.
