Museum of Failure will help us learn from our 404s
SWEDEN HAS some cool museums. The Abba Museum. Erm. Some other museums. But what about a place to display all the stuff that didn’t go quite to plan?Samuel West has opened the Museum of Failures, a curated collection of over 70 ideas that just didn’t turn out as they were supposed to.Tech features heavily. Google Glass, for example, whoch West cites as being a failure because of its lack of privacy (though we can think of a dozen other reasons).There’s a Betamax Video Recorder, an Apple Newton MessagePad, a Nokia N-Gage and a Sinclair C5.’LEARNING IS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN FAILURE INTO SUCCESS’ says the company mantra.”I was tired of all the success stories. They all sound alike.” West told the BBC. ”Seeing big companies fail makes us feel better about our own failures.” You can tell he’s a psychologist by day.Other observers note that it gives us a better insight to the amount of work a success story takes and how many failures it takes to find a winning formula.
