The Museum of Failure is a museum that features a collection of failed products and services. The touring exhibition provides visitors with a learning experience about the critical role of failure in innovation and encourages organizations to become better at learning from failure. Samuel West's 2016 visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb inspired the concept of the museum. Museum founder and curator Samuel West reportedly registered a domain name for the museum and later realized he had misspelled the word museum. The Swedish Innovation Authority (Vinnova) partially funded the museum. The exhibition opened on 7 June 2017 in Helsingborg. The exhibit reopened at Dunkers Kulturhus on 2 June 2018, before closing in January 2019. A temporary exhibit opened in Los Angeles in December 2017. The Los Angeles museum was on Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood & Highland Center. The exhibit opened in January – March 2019 at Shanghai, No.1 Center (上海第一百货). And in December 2019 a smaller version opened in Paris, France at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie along with other interesting failure-related exhibitions for the "Festival of Failures" (Les Foirés festival des flops, des bides, des ratés et des inutiles).

According to West, the goal of the museum is to help people recognize the "need to accept failure if we want progress", and to encourage companies to learn more from their failures without resorting to "cliches".
The collection consists of over 150 failed products and services worldwide. Some examples of the items on display include the Apple Newton, Bic for Her, Google Glass, N-Gage, lobotomy instruments, Harley-Davidson Cologne, Kodak DC-40, Sony Betamax, Lego Fiber Optics, the My Friend Cayla talking doll, and Coca-Cola BlāK.
The museum's package of Colgate lasagna is a replica since the company refused to send a real package of the short-lived 1960s product. In May 2020, the museum made most of the collection of artifacts available for viewing on its website.
