The Museum of Broken Relationships

 

Croatian artists Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić, who were once in a romantic relationship, created this unusual and interesting museum. After they broke up, they decided to use sentimental reminders of their love to start the Museum of Broken Relationships, so that the objects could remain together. Initially, the museum was a travelling collection that toured cities around the founders’ home country, and later around the world. Along the way, the collection grew as people donated personal objects as their own reminders of heartbreak.

 Nowadays, the museum has a permanent home in Zagreb, Croatia, and it contains an incredible collection of contributor’s past romantic objects: everything from teddy bears to a small bottle filled with a woman’s tears! The museum’s concept of using collective creativity to recover from the grief of lost love has proved very appealing: over a thousand people visit the museum every week.

The museum has become so successful that a second Museum of Broken Relationships opened in Los Angeles in 2016. If you are brokenhearted and left with reminders of your lover that you find too hard to throw away but too painful to keep, you can donate them to the museum together with a brief story about the objects. In the museum, the objects are put on display with nothing more than the stories provided by the anonymous donors. So, what would you contribute to this unusual museum?
