Museum of Broken Relationships, Personal relationship museum in Upper Town, Zagreb, Croatia
The Museum of Broken Relationships is a private institution in Zagreb's Upper Town that displays donated items from ended love affairs alongside the stories behind them. The exhibits range from ordinary household objects to unusual keepsakes sent by contributors from around the world, creating a collection of human experience.
Two Croatian artists founded this institution in 2010 after their own separation and turned it into the country's first private museum. The following year it received a European award for its fresh approach to documenting personal stories.
The collection contains 3,500 donated objects from international contributors, reflecting various social and emotional aspects of relationship endings across different societies.
The museum sits in the Upper Town and opens daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. between June and September, with shorter hours during other months. Wheelchair users face limited access because the building stands on a historic cobblestone street.
The collection holds a garden gnome that one former partner photographed on every trip together and later left behind. Other displays contain handwritten letters, wedding dresses and even an axe that someone used to destroy furniture after a relationship ended.
