From the Indy Star:

An Indiana State Fair exhibit promoting education about colorectal cancer includes a 40-foot model of the human colon that visitors can crawl through.

The free exhibit at the Clarian Healthy Lifestyles Pavilion on Aug. 6-17 is dubbed “Colossal Colon” and depicts healthy colon tissue as well as tissue with hemorrhoids, cancerous and non-cancerous polyps, Crohn’s disease, diverticulosis, ulcerative colitis and various stages of colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the third-most common cancer and will cause nearly 50,000 deaths in the United States this year, according to the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center, which is co-sponsoring the exhibit with Clarian.
