After managing the world between 2017 and 2024, the museum’s bankruptcy collection can now be seen online (at least until the next address of the exhibition is released).
The collection with over 130 failed inventions was broadcast for the first time in Sweden in 2017, by the idea of the psychologist and innovation researcher Dr. Samuel West, with the aim of inspiring visitors to innovate without fear of failing.
Since then he has landed in France, Taiwan, Continental China, Canada and the United States.
“The fiction of the future can be much larger than reality,” describes West.
Museum of bankruptcy
The virtual exhibition is divided by topics such as “the future (no) is now”, with technological products that have not obtained the demand for the public, “digital disasters”, “medical accidents” and “bad taste”, a collection with Doubts products.
One of the highlights are the intelligent glasses launched in 2013, taking the product from the circulation two years later. At the time, the news cost $ 1,500 and caused a fury among technology enthusiasts due to the camera and vowel checks built.
However, according to the same museum of bankruptcy, the toy was only an expensive prototype that did not meet the needs of users.
The same section of the virtual museum also presents products such as Google TV (2012-2014), an attempt to integrate television with the Internet and Divx (1998-1999), such as the US discs that have allowed to watch a movie within 48 hours Before the album became unusable.
Already the failure of Minitel (1982-2000) was his … success.
This French internet version, before the very existence of virtual life, was a great success, commercial and technologically speaking. According to the same bankruptcy museum, in 1999, half of France used the service for reservations for travel, banks, e-commerce and e-mail.
“Minitel’s inability is that it was too good: its success and popularity delayed the transition of France on the Internet in a decade” analyzes the museum’s curative.
The Rejuvenique (1982-1988) was a face mask that promised to tone the face muscles with electric shocks. However, the invention, which should be fixed on the face for 15 minutes, three to four times a week, was classified as a mask that gave the feeling “a thousands of ants that bite the face”, in the description of A time of the time.
Not to mention the fact that the product has never been approved by the safety agencies.
But not only with technology is the collection of this museum.
One of the most bizarre failures of the exhibition is “Little Miss in Name Doll”, something similar to “Nameless Doll” in the literal translation.
Created in 1965, the doll had absolutely nothing, not even the shoes, and only came like a busy bag as the only choice of clothing. Until recently it was possible to buy the collectible doll, Amazing!, $ 150.
