February 14 is the Day of Love, but everyone has ended its relationship, the founders of the Zagreb Museum of Breakouts thought it was worth preserving the sweet memories of past love.
The museum, which won the Kenneth Hudson Prize in 2011 for "social interaction innovation", and this year the war and the breakup of Britain have also been expanded with the Eurobai Union (Brexit), a typical tourist attraction.
At the same time, the somewhat individual and unique museum attracts many visitors and receives tremendous media attention.
The traveling version of the exhibition has turned around in Berlin, Belgrade, Istanbul, San Francisco, Cape Town, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Budapest and many other big cities, but has been a permanent exhibition in the center of Zagreb.
Former thinkers, Olinka Vistica film producer and artist Drazen Grubisic had previously formed a party for four years, and after their break up, they had to find a piece of junk where those who left out of their contacts could place their objects that carry their pain.
However, the museum not only shows objects related to broken relationships, but also mementos associated with loved and lost relatives and friends. Some have therapeutic effects on objects and occasionally touching, sometimes entertaining stories, others may find humorous or even strange pimples.
Among the exhibited items donated to people who wanted to share their story, they can meet matches, white, bridal gowns, leftovers and pink shorts.
There are eight themed rooms in the museum, such as family, sport or love at work. This year, the exhibition was expanded with the story of a Danish woman and her husband's husband, and the reason for the breakup, as the theme of the exhibition, was trauma. Returning from Afghanistan, he could not return to his old life.
Drazen Grubisic, one of the founders of the museum, told the press that they liked to show the love stories that were affected by the war. He also drew attention to a record written by a young German in 1942 to his girlfriend before he went to war. She dreamed that she would be a famous singer, but she suffered a throat injury. She could never sing again, though she hadn't married her bride, she kept the disc until her death.
The exhibition focuses mainly on lost love, but it also gives disappointment to the feeling that your country has betrayed you. The story of a young graduate man can also be found in the other stories that left everything behind and moved to Ireland. She broke up with a country that could not provide her with opportunities.
As the exhibition travels a lot, the collection is expanding abroad. In Turkey, a woman whose groom was killed in a military attack in Istanbul was donated to the museum by her wedding dress.
Grubisic also said that the exhibition will be in March this year in Northern England, York. The topic will be Brexit. The locals want to contribute to the collection by discussing the division caused by war, religion, and politics. Through individual stories that are more personal than how to deal with love disappointment, he stressed.
