Satirists declare the exhibit redundant but are thrilled to be busy.
LONDON – The UK’s new Museum of Failure opened this week to sold-out crowds, though politicians reportedly remain “unsold” for participation. Exhibits include failed tech startups, abandoned policies, and a section devoted to poorly conceived legislative acts. Satirists attending the event claimed redundancy, yet admitted they appreciated the irony of observing other failures while orchestrating their own. Visitors described the experience as “educationally mortifying” and “morbidly satisfying,” while curators insisted that public engagement with failure is crucial for national growth.
According to Museums Association standards, such exhibits serve important educational purposes. One exhibit, featuring a defunct transport initiative, drew particularly strong reactions from local commuters who recognised the signage. Polling indicates that 87% of attendees left laughing, 9% left inspired, and 4% left considering running for office themselves.
