The Museum of Broken Relationships

In the Zagreb upper town, we stumbled across this museum and I loved it. If you're going to Zagreb, I highly recommend it. It was only 20 Kuna, about £2, and gives you free access to another contemporary museum across town (which we didn't have time to visit, but is easily accessible by tram).

The museum provided exhibits and personal stories of people's ended relationships - mainly with boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, but also religious or political connections. I experienced a multitude of emotions and sensations including heaviness, sadness, loss, hope, desperation and, above all, catharsis. As well as providing a fascinating peek into the minds of others, it also seems to work as a wonderful therapeutic tool that enables broken hearts to heal.
