Washington DC has opened an art gallery called the Museum of Failure.

Johanna Guttmann organised the exhibition.

Guttmann's trying to change people's opinion about failure.

The exhibition started in 2017 in Sweden.

It includes ideas from around the world that failed.

Many of these ideas are from famous companies like Starbucks and Oreo.

Starbucks tried to sell a coffee drink with olive oil.

But this sent customers to the toilet.

Trump's Monopoly game was too complicated.

So, not many people bought it.

Oreo made biscuits with unusual flavours, which many people found unpleasant.

Guttmann wants people to feel comfortable with failing.

She thinks that people can learn important lessons from making mistakes.

Guttmann would like people to talk about their failures.

Visitors can write down their experiences with failure and put them on a board.

But people are afraid to do this.

Guttmann thinks that this is because of social media.
