“I’ll never look at my bum the same way again” - Phil Wang

“This is an absolutely brilliant book. If you only read one bum book this year, make it this one!" - Chris Haughton

“The best book for children about evolution” - Dr Nick Crumpton

A Natural History of Bums will be released 5th June, 2025.

All copies ordered via the museum website will be signed, and include exclusive bum stickers!

From prehistoric patooties to modern mudchutes, find out how the humble bum created life on Earth as we know it!

This overlooked body part is far more than where we poo and fart from. You see, our world is full of magnificent bottoms - and without them life as we know it could not exist.

In this illustrated guide to the humble bumhole, our crab narrators will take you on a journey to bumless pre-history, and follow the evolution of the corybungus through countless strange forms.

Gasp as bums take over the land! Get cozy in the Cenozoic with some mammal poop chutes! Shriek in horror at those stubborn creatures who are STILL refusing to evolve one!
