Come join the 37th Annual Houston Art Car Parade with The Health Museum’s fART Car, to stimulate the learning and education about colon health in an fun and engaging way.
We will be transforming a 12 ft. trailer into an oversized digestive system with our giant colon from the Amazing Body Gallery. The small intestines are sculpted with recycled materials, such as cardboard and newspaper, as an effort to reduce waste for a better environment.

Art Car Fun Zone
Visit our station at the Art Car Fun Zone on April 13 before the parade, from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, to learn more with poop slime, coloring poop emoji, quizzes about colon health and the chance to win some fun prizes!
Make your own poop using cocoa powder, glue, contact solution and baking powder. The color and consistency of your poop can tell you a lot about your health and the types of food you’ve been eating.
Why Colon Health?
You have trillions (that’s NINE zeros – 1,000,000,000) of microbes that live in your digestive system that help you digest your food and keep you healthy. Your colon is also responsible for absorbing water, so it is very important to drink up and stay hydrated!
