Oslo's FLOP Museum gathers more than 270 products that failed commercially
A former Google employee, Steffen Kalve, created the FLOP Museum in Oslo, a space dedicated to products, inventions and advertising campaigns that did not meet their commercial expectations. It holds more than 270 objects, about a hundred of which are on display with explanations of their origin and the reasons for their failure. After a temporary exhibition in Tønsberg, the museum opened its venue in the Norwegian capital in April. The collection includes Google Glass, a Stadia controller, the Nokia N-Gage, the My Friend Cayla doll and Crystal Pepsi.
