The Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) Poo Palace is a giant, inflatable digestive system where kids (and adults!) voyage through each stage of the digestive journey – from tongue to toilet!

The HMRI Poo Palace consists of 4 modules:

  1. The mouth and oesophagus
  2. The stomach
  3. The small intestine
  4. The large intestine and colon

Poo Palace visitors will climb into a huge mouth and pop out a very large bottom. You'll also get to participate in live experiments, make your very own playdough poos, and learn first-hand from gut health research experts how food moves through the body, how diet affects gut health and about gastrointestinal disorders. 

Join us during National Science Week at the Newcastle Museum.
