The Museum of Failure

Around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas are showed in the newly opened museum in Sweden. It is to celebrate modern history’s worst13 — from Coca-Cola Blak, a coffee-inspired drink, to Bic pens made just for women.

Besides showing long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our 14 . Samuel set up the museum after growing tired of success stories. He said understanding bad design could be more 15 than copying good design.

“Most of all creative projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success,” says the museum’s website. “I hope that visitors16 home two messages: that failure is connected with success, and that they should understand the 17 of learning from failure,” said Dr. West.

“The purpose of the museum is to show that creativity requires failure,” Dr. West said as he introduced some of the products in a video. “If you are 18 of failure, then you can’t create.” So the world will not ignore (忽视) them and pretend they never happened.

Many of the museum’s items can be seen online. West believed that poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagna (意式千层面) made by Colgate (Yes, the company that makes toothpaste). West 19 this as a classic case of “failure in producing an improper new product by a well-known company”.

A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour. The traveling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2019.

History may be written by the winners, but we should not ignore the losers. At least, that’s what the Museum of Failure wants us to 20 .
