A wacky museum of failed inventions & bizarre products is set to open in Calgary this summer

If you don’t succeed, try, try, try again – at least that’s the message behind Calgary’s up-and-coming Museum of Failure.

From France and Shanghai to Hollywood and Minneapolis – this Sweden-born exhibit displays and celebrates some of mankind’s biggest failures – not in an effort to shame creators, but to encourage others to learn and grow from mankinds mistakes.

This summer, the museum will take Calgary, occupying a space in Southcentre Mall, and believe us when we say, that you won’t want to miss it!

Filled with everything from board games and skin care products, to vehicles and foods, browse and oggle flops from all over the world, from various decades and markets.

‘Innovation and progress require an acceptance of failure,” they explain on their website.

“This museum aims to stimulate productive discussion about failure and inspire us to take meaningful risks,” – a helpful lesson, indeed!

Sadly, we’ll have to wait until July 1st to check it out – but we love the concept.

To aid in normalizing oopsies and faulty first tries AND to purchase a ticket to the museum for yourself, you can check out our BOOK NOW page here.

Heck, maybe you’ll learn a thing or to! Wouldn’t that be neat.

Enjoy!

MUSEUM OF FAILURE, CALGARY

When: Friday, July 1st to August 31st
Where: Southcentre Mall – 100 Anderson Rd SE
