Museum of Failure | Open now until February 4
Mistakes happen, but sometimes you never get to live 'em down, unfortunately. Now at the A+D Museum, the Museum of Failure revisits history’s epic fails by some of the world’s best known companies — from the laughable Bic for Her marketing catastrophe to Colgate's frozen beef lasagna (ew) to Donald Trump's own version of Monopoly from 1989 (no surprises there).
