It seems like there is a museum for everything,and the more obscure the items on display the more interesting the stories that they tell. The "Museum of Broken Relationships" (in Croatia) started as a joke between a couple after their four year relationship had ended. They felt there should be a place to house the left over personal items. In 2006 they started asking friends for contributions from their own break ups and the collection was born. In the years that followed the collection toured the world gathering new items along the way. The museum became the first privately owned museum in the city (Zagreb) in 2010. Other than the usual detritus from break ups (rings,clothing,gifts and ect.) the collection includes: The letter T from a keyboard,air sickness bags,a side-view mirror,mannequin hands,an ax,a wooden watermelon,a candy thong,and pretty much anything else you could think of. The museum is a new home for items that cause pain instead of inspiring pleasant thoughts.
