At The Poop Museum, everyone learns many fantastic, fabulous and fun facts about human, animal and insect poop, many of which truly amaze and surprise. Just a few of the poopers that visitors to the Poop Museum will meet include:
– The world’s messiest pooper
– The animal that has poop attack powers
– The animal that uses poop as protection
– The rainbow pooper
– The animal that has to hold its poop ALL winter long
At The Poop Museum, everyone learns A LOT, and some of the facts that are shared are mind blowing! But The Poop Museum is also full of laughter … because … well … our subject is poop and Susie has found a wonderful way to blend solid science, with the hilarity that humans love, when it comes to poop. Recommended for ages 5-10.
This program is funded by Preotle, Lane & Associates, Ltd.
Please join us for a Special Event Summer Movie Night on Wednesday, August 6, 2025: 6:00-8:00pm at the Malden Public Library. We will be showing one of the best films of the year about Flow. This movie won the Best Animated Feature Oscar in 2025. It is directed by Gints Zilbalodois.
This film is “A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, [it] follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of the award-winning Gints Zilbalodis (Away) comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, [this film] is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart.” Rated PG (85 min.) (2025) 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
