Poos of the past!
Feel free to browse our cabinets of famous poos of the past. Each display case is labelled with the exhibit’s previous owner and a brief summary of his or her toilet habits, where known.
Pontius Pilate
Always washed his hands
Queen Elizabeth I
Had the heart and stomach of a king; less is known about her lower digestive system
Dylan Thomas
Did not go gently
Charles Dickens
Liked to give his number twos names inspired by some of his most famous characters, such as Tiny Turd and Bob Crapshit
Greta Garbo
She liked to poo alone
Rodin
Obsessed by flatulence. Of his ‘Fart Studies’ only the sculpture originally named ‘The Stinker’ remains
Mozart
Known for his beautiful movements
Thomas Chippendale
Reportedly furious when asked to provide a stool sample. Insisted his medical advisers instead refer to his ‘occasional tables’
Queen Victoria
Spent a very long time on the throne
We hope you’ve enjoyed this literal shitshow. Do keep an eye out for our forthcoming exhibition ‘Oui-Oui: An exploration of the role of urine in French popular culture’.
