The Milwaukee Public Museum is about to be the No. 2 - ahem, No. 1 - educational destination for families hoping to learn about basic biology this fall.

A new traveling exhibition, "The Scoop on Poop," will run from Sept. 28 through Jan. 5, 2014. Based on the popular children's book of the same name, the exhibit will lead visitors on an investigation of what poop is and how animals and humans use it.

Tickets for "The Scoop on Poop" will go on sale May 15. Tickets are $5 in addition to regular MPM admission, or $4.50 for members.
