Besides showing long-forgotten failures, founder Dr Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our mistakes, Samuel set up the museum after growing2success stories. He said understanding bad design could be more valuable than3good design.
"Most of all creative projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success," according to the museum's website. "I hope that visitors take home two 4; that failure is connected with success, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure." said Dr West.

Many of the museum's items were available online. West believed that6products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagne(意式千层面) made by Colgate(Yes, the company that makes tooth-paste) . West described this as a classic case of "brand extension failure."
A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour. The travelling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 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 believe.
