Museum of Failure

West's 2016 visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb inspired the concept of the museum. Museum founder and curator Samuel West reportedly registered a domain name for the museum and later realized he had misspelled the word museum. The exhibition opened on 7 June 2017 in Helsingborg, Sweden. The exhibit reopened at Dunkers Kulturhus on 2 June 2018, before closing in January 2019. A temporary exhibit opened in Los Angeles in December 2017. The Los Angeles museum was on Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood & Highland Center. The exhibit opened in January – March 2019 at Shanghai, No.1 Center (上海第一百货). In December 2019, a smaller version opened in Paris, France at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie along with other interesting failure-related exhibitions for the "Festival of Failures" (Les Foirés festival des flops, des bides, des ratés et des inutiles). ==Collection==

The collection consists of over 150 Google Glass, N-Gage, lobotomy instruments, Harley-Davidson Cologne, Kodak DC-40, Sony Betamax, Lego Fiber Optics, the My Friend Cayla talking doll, and Coca-Cola BlāK. The museum's package of Colgate lasagna is a replica since the company refused to send a real package of the short-lived 1960s product. In May 2020, the museum made most of the collection of artifacts available for viewing on its website. == See also ==
