Museum of Failure Opens In Sweden (failuremag.com)

Slashdot reader swellconvivialguy writes: A new museum in Helsingborg displays more than 70 failed products and objects, including the Apple Newton, Google Glass, Sony Betamax, Harley-Davidson perfume, and the Donald Trump board game. According to curator Samuel West, "none of the companies that I contacted wanted to cooperate. I approached quite a few innovation directors and asked them for examples of failure that they've learned from. I thought it would be easy to get them to collaborate but none of them -- zero -- choose to cooperate."
The curator urges people to accept failure -- "as an essential aspect of progress and innovation."

    Do they also exhibit political and economic failure?

    In that case large areas of present day Sweden can be seen as a huge open-air museum of failure :-(

    Google: "swedish immigration policy" or something along those lines, if unaware of what I refer to.

    Nobody cares about you.

    But the trolls like to keep you flipping around on the floor of their rowboat.
