Colombia's laziness museum hopes people will bother to come

A museum dedicated to laziness has opened in Colombia's capital, Bogota.

The event features sofas placed in front of televisions, hammocks and beds - anything associated with the avoidance of work.



The idea is to get people during the holiday season to think about laziness and its opposite, extreme work, and perhaps reach some balanced conclusion



Marcela Arrieta, the museum curator, said: "We always think about laziness as an enemy of work.

"So we wanted to explore that and make people think about the social issues implied in taking a nap, in being jobless or in feeling that maybe we are wasting time - so we want to ask ourselves about that."
