Sandown

Our plans are to lease one of the main hangars at Sandown Airport and convert this into our first aviation museum. This will allow us to both build our collection and establish the museum as a viable tourist attraction. Positioned close to the airport Control Tower and Bistro, the museum will be a short distance from the parking facilities. The airport is located on the main route between Newport & Sandown and is in the ideal position for attracting visitors. The airport is also home to Airframe Assemblies one of the worlds leading Spitfire and classic war bird restoration companies and these aircraft are regular visitors to the airfield. The museum will be free to enter and staffed by volunteers, enabling maximum access to all visitors.

The National Poo Museum was created by Daniel Roberts, Nigel George and Dave Badman from the Eccleston George collective of artists and social entrepreneurs on the Isle of Wight. We launched with “Poo at the Zoo” at Sandown, Isle of Wight on March 25 2016. It was a joint event with Isle of Wight Zoo. This exhibition was open to zoo visitors over the spring and summer 2016. We found a beautiful new site for a permanent exhibition in Sandown, Isle of Wight. It will be open in April 2018.
