Museum of Broken Relationships is an art project which proceeds from the assumption that objects possess integrated fields – “holograms” of memories and emotions. With its layout the museum intends to create a space of ‘secure memory’ or ‘protected remembrance’ in order to preserve the material and nonmaterial heritage of broken relationships.

By registering on the web pages of the Museum you become its donor and here you can store everything that reminds you of your bygone love: e-mails, photographs, SMS messages. If your memories still trigger off painful memories “lock” your exhibits for a specified period: 3 months, 6 months or however long you need for recovering. Simply ‘remove’ them into the museum during convalescence and participate in creation of “collective emotional history”.

First material display of this unique Museum is located in a shipping container in Zagreb, Croatia, in the framework of 40th (Zagreb Salon Exhibition). The museum has everything from romantic and touching letters to different gifts given to lovers. Every single object on display has a personal description by the owner, dates of the relationship that was behind it and sometimes even how that person has moved on. That’s why it could be therapeutic for those with newly broken hearts
