Grossology Opens this Saturday at The Children's Museum of the Upstate

September 10, 2014
Inspired by the children's best-selling book GROSSOLOGY by Sylvia Branzei, the exhibition features a multitude of interactive displays to teach what our body's biology does to keep us healthy. Sometimes it’s stinky, sometimes it’s crusty; and sometimes it’s slimy.  Explore why your body produces mushy, oozy, crusty, scaly and stinky gunk at Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body at The Children's Museum of the Upstate. Visit this Saturday, September 13 for the Grand Opening of GROSSOLOGY.

If you're a member, enjoy a special member-perk only this Friday, September 12 from 6-8. TCMU members are invited to attend the opening celebration of the new traveling exhibit, Grossology The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body. Children will explore the good, the bad and the downright ugly about how their body works!
