The accused, Peter Higgs, was fired in July 2023 after more than 1,800 items were discovered missing.

British Museum sues former curator for alleged theft of 1,800 items

The accused, Peter Higgs, was fired in July 2023 after more than 1,800 items were discovered missing.

The British Museum went to court on Tuesday against a former curator alleged to have stolen hundreds of artefact from its collections and offered them for sale online.
The museum is suing Peter Higgs, who was fired in July 2023 after more than 1,800 items were discovered to be missing. Lawyers for the museum say Higgs "abused his position of trust" to steal ancient gems, gold jewellery and other pieces from storerooms over the course of a decade.
High Court judge Heather Williams ordered Higgs to list or return any items in his possession within four weeks. She also ordered the disclosure of his eBay and PayPal records.
The museum says it has recovered 356 of the missing items so far, and hopes to get more back.
"The items that have been stolen from the museum are of cultural and historical significance," museum lawyer Daniel Burgess said in written legal arguments.
Burgess said the defendant tried to "cover his tracks" by using fake names, creating false documents, manipulating the museum's records and selling artefact at less than their value.
Higgs, who worked in the museum's Greece and Rome department for more than two decades, denies the allegations and intends to dispute the museum's legal claim.
He did not attend Tuesday's hearing due to poor health, lawyers said.
A separate police investigation into the case is ongoing, and Higgs has not been charged with a crime.
Museum director Hartwig Fischer resigned after the loss of the items was revealed in August, apologising for failing to take seriously enough a warning from an art historian that artifacts from its collection were being sold on eBay.
Chairman of trustees George Osborne has acknowledged that the reputation of the 265-year-old institution has been damaged by the episode.
The 18th-century museum in central London's Bloomsbury district is one of Britain's biggest tourist attractions, visited by six million people a year. They come to see a collection that ranges from Egyptian mummies and ancient Greek statues to Viking hoards, scrolls bearing 12th-century Chinese poetry and masks created by the Indigenous peoples of Canada.&nbsp;

From fat-free Pringles to Coke II; the Museum of Failures, introduced by psychologist Dr. Samuel West, celebrates bad ideas and failed products from all over the world.  

This museum in New York celebrates failures and failed products from all over the world  

From fat-free Pringles to Coke II; the Museum of Failures, introduced by psychologist Dr. Samuel West, celebrates bad ideas and failed products from all over the world. &nbsp;

As Oprah Winfrey once said, "Failure is another stepping stone to greatness."&nbsp;
The Museum of Failure is a proof that even successful businesses can have bad ideas. An initiative by Dr. Samuel West, this museum in New York showcases a collection of failed products and services from all over the world.&nbsp;
As per West, "seeing massive corporations fail when they try something new, gives us permission to fail when we try out new things."
From Google Glass to Pringles to Coca Cola's Coke II; the museum has listed over 150 failed products from well-established organisations that are popular across the world. It is currently open in Brooklyn&rsquo;s Industry City until June 2023. There is even a wall where visitors can share their failures.&nbsp;
<h3>Here are some of the best flops displayed at the Museum of Failure:&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>1. IKEA a.i.r sofa (1980s)</h3>
Affordable home furniture brand IKEA took DIY and transportable sofa to extreme level with its line of inflatable furniture; the infamous IKEA a.i.r. The valves of the sofa constantly leaked and needed re-pumping. However, the product did last almost a decade.&nbsp;
<h3>2. Nike Magneto (1995-97)</h3>
Famous for its sneakers and gym wear, Nike created a pair of futuristic sunglasses that didn't have temples (the part that goes over your ear). The weird part was in order to wear them you had to glue magnets on your face so the shades could clip-on, which was a disaster back then.&nbsp;

<h3>3. Pringles (1996 &ndash; 1999)</h3>
Your favourite Chips were not a hit at first. The fat-free chips contained the controversial additive Olestra which caused gastric issues and diarrhea. Pringles became famous not for the taste but for causing stomach issues.&nbsp;
<h3>4. Nokia N-Gage (2003 &ndash; 2005)</h3>
With this innovation, Nokia tried to combine mobile phones and game consoles into one device. The device had to be disassembled to play games. And to use it as a phone, the user had to hold the phone sideways, with its thin edge against their head. Hence, people mocked it by calling it a Taco phone.&nbsp;
<h3>5. Spray-on Condom (2006-2008)</h3>
Initiated by German entrepreneur Jan Vinzenz Krause, the spray-on condom had major issues. One of them was that it needed too much time to dry. The product could not make it to the market but lives on at the Museum of Failure.&nbsp;
<h3>Few other popular failed products in the list:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Colgate Frozen Beef Lasagna (early 1980s)</li>
<li>Apple Pippin (1996-97)</li>
<li>Heinz Coloured Ketchup (2000-06)</li>
<li>ESPN phone (2006)</li>
<li>TwitterPeek (2009-2010)</li>
<li>Rejuvenique beauty mask (1990 &ndash; 1990)</li>
</ul>
