And finally…

What do Betamax, a Donald Trump Board game and the Nokia N-Gage have in common? The answer – they are all exhibits at a brand new museum known as ‘the Museum of Failure’.

Previously located in Sweden, as many as 100 bemusing reminders of forgotten products and failed business ideas have all been shipped to Los Angeles this year to go on display in a truly one-of-kind museum.

The Museum of Failure will contain original examples of long-forgotten product flops such as Colgate-branded lasagne, pink Bic pens ‘aimed at women’, Harley Davidson aftershave and more.

Originally collected by prominent psychologist and innovation researcher Dr Samuel West as part of a research project into corporate success, the museum hopes to provide it‘s visitors with “a new perspective on failure.”

Dr West, who is acting as the museum’s curator, said: “At large, as a society, we are too obsessed with success and underestimate failure.

“I started the Museum of Failure out of frustration – it’s time we accept failure, learn from it, and truly achieve progress.

“I am thrilled to bring the hilarious, yet impactful memories of these colossal flops to Los Angeles.”

The museum’s opening date is yet to be confirmed.
