Museum of Broken Relationships
A small, much-loved museum of objects donated by people to tell the story of an ended relationship.
Paid entry about 60 min
For storytellers
Why Museum of Broken Relationships matters
Each object here is ordinary: a toaster, a wedding dress, a teddy bear. What makes it moving is the short note next to it telling the story behind it. You move from laughter to a lump in the throat in a single room. It started as an art project and grew into one of Zagreb's best-known attractions, reflecting how personal stories can become culture.
Talking points
- Every item is donated by a real person with a short written story.
- It began as an art project before becoming a permanent museum.
- It takes under an hour but stays with you.
Free to read aloud or adapt in your video. Check facts that matter to you against an official source before you publish.
