Jasmine: Aladdin’s Jasmine and I are both surrounded by animals and while I cannot possibly tame a tiger, I look after a small white Pomeranian and often go horse riding. Being around them always feels like a sanctuary from the stress of school.

The Museum of Failures. Diverging from traditional museums that celebrate innovative breakthroughs and intricate art pieces, this museum sheds light on the overlooked side of human endeavours – the failures and the fizzles that fell short of making their name in the annals of history.

It will feature the untold stories of renowned visionaries like Henry Ford and Albert Einstein. From Ford’s unrealistic locomotive prototypes to Einstein’s failed exam results, these exhibits are a testament to the inherent nature of learning through trial and error. The Museum of Failures underscores the notion that knowledge is nurtured rather than granted in nature and an integral part of our journey of self-improvement.

The museum invites visitors to embrace setbacks and view closed doors not as dead ends but as gateways to unexplored possibilities. By shifting our mindset with failure management, we learn to perceive it as a catalyst for success and a force to propel us forward.

The Museum of Failures is not only for entertainment but also for enlightenment.

Hong Kong boasts a vibrant and diverse fashion scene, from traditional Chinese attire like the cheongsam to contemporary suits and shirts. Over the years, we have witnessed significant shifts in fashion trends in Hong Kong, making it a perfect time to establish a fashion museum to showcase this evolution.

The envisioned museum will be divided into three main sections: historical, contemporary clothing and interactive education.

The historical section will dig into the profound influence of Hong Kong’s history on its fashion culture.

A contemporary clothing exhibit will feature renowned Hong Kong brands and designers who have made significant contributions to the fashion industry.

The museum’s interactive and educational spaces will provide an immersive experience for visitors. A virtual studio will enable children to experiment with fabrics and virtually design their own clothes, fostering creativity.

Lotus: I am calm, empathetic and passionate, just like the lotus symbolises. When I’m not writing or reading, you can usually catch me cooking, painting or watching cute animal videos. A fun fact about me: I love fruits, almost every kind.

I would design an interactive museum of hobbies, a dynamic and engaging space that celebrates the diverse interests people pursue in their leisure time. This museum would help thousands of students like me find activities they enjoy.

Upon entering the museum, visitors would be greeted by the performer’s section, which would showcase a wide array of hobbies, such as photography, cooking, music, and more. Each showcase includes a lesson on the history, techniques and notable practitioners of the hobby.

The main attraction of the museum would be the interactive workshops. Visitors of all ages and skill levels are welcome to participate in them, which offer introductory lessons into specific hobbies for people to explore and expand their knowledge.

To further enhance the visitor experience, the museum would also incorporate virtual reality so one can participate in sports activities and even simulate thrilling experiences such as rock climbing, scuba diving, or even flying an aeroplane.

The cherry on top is the hobby marketplace, where visitors can easily browse and purchase products, supplies or equipment they need to start exploring and pursuing their new-found hobbies in an easy and accessible way. It will also be at an affordable price for fellow students to purchase.
