NYC’s Museum of Failure opens to make us feel better about our lives

If at first you don’t succeed, submit it to the Museum of Failure.

A brand-new gallery dedicated to retail objects that have bombed commercially opened earlier this month in Brooklyn’s Industry City complex.

The Museum of Failure collects “failed products and services from around the world,” according to its website, offering what it calls a “fascinating learning experience” into failed innovation.

“Every item provides unique insight into the risky business of innovation,” continues the site. “The museum aims to stimulate productive discussion about failure and inspire us to take meaningful risks.”

The Museum of Failure showcases more than 159 retail items that didn’t quite take off, including the infamous and much-reviled Google Glass and the ill-fated DeLorean car, which was made famous by the “Back to the Future” franchise.
