What would YOU suggest for exhibits in the Irish Museum of White Elephants?

I can think of two at the moment: An e- machine and a Reverse Vending Machine, though some of ye will argue it’s going to be part of our accepted way of doing business in future.

What from the past or the present would you include in this newly commissioned temple of things that have done or may yet fast become history?

That could be running on video in a room off the main hall, on loop. The overall admission price to the museum could fund the debts incurred by these enterprises.

A massive 3D printed actual white elephant printed with a 3D printer that's far too big to fit in the building it was intended for

We already have that in the Dail. They ordered a new printer and the company arrived to install it they discovered it would not fit into the room.

The building would have to have a visible vertical alteration that does t quite fit in with the original design.

With a statue of Mammy O’Rourke smiling and holding out a paper shared document: “You can have one too!”

I still remember yerwan in her geansai standing by the coast with diddly eye music playing in the background blathering on about how we should buy them because Telecom Eireann was part of our heritage/culture/whatever

I smelt a rat straight away.

I was still in primary school at the time. Barely knew what shares were

This museum will have to extend out in prefabs around the original great design.
