Museum of Broken Relationships
Croatia
At a glance
Winner of the prestigious Kenneth Hudson award for the most innovative museum in Europe in 2011, the Museum of Broken Relationships is definitely not your typical tourist attraction. This unique and un-ordinary museum has rightfully gained much public attention since its beginnings as a travelling exhibition to a now permanent attraction in the city centre of Zagreb.
Intrigued by its concept of failed relationships and broken hearts, visitors flock to this small museum showcasing the remains of lost love and doleful souls. Some find visiting the museum therapeutic others find it quirky and humorous.
Exhibits named 'A Box Made of Matches', 'An Ex Axe', 'A Wedding Dress', 'Handcuffs', 'Divorce Day Mad Dwarf' and numerous others showcase everything from love letters to teddy bears, old photos to secret keys, lingerie and much, much more! This quirky and entertaining museum is most original in the fact that all artefacts collected were donated by real people who loved and lost. Sheer entertainment or contemporary art? We will leave it up to you to decide.
