The Broken Heart Museum in Croatia


A friend just came from a trip around Croatia And when he told me everything he had seen, I was especially struck by a museum, which is undoubtedly one of the most curious I have ever seen or heard of. Its about Museum of Finished Relationships, which everyone popularly calls the Broken Heart Museum. It's in Zagreb and it is an amazing place where there are many objects that represent finalized love relationships.

All that the museum houses are objects donated by people who have ended their relationships, and instead of throwing objects that remind them of their ex, they prefer to donate them so that they are part of the museum. A small museum with three rooms where you can find sex toys, clothing, jewelry, decorative objects and even weapons such as axes. Each object is accompanied by its own story, so it is very interesting.

Curious objects

Among the many things that there are, of course there is no lack wedding dress, undoubtedly one of the most striking since ending your relationship when you already have the dress purchased is one of the most painful ruptures you can suffer. There are also garden gnomes and even several tufts of hair. All objects reflect the personal relationships that any person can have, always with the dramatic touch that is the end of them.


The Broken Heart Museum is in the Kulmer Palace, in the upper part of Zagreb. Between June and September it opens every day from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., while from October to May it also opens every day at 9 a.m. but it closes at 9 p.m. It only closes on Christmas, New Years and All Saints' Day. On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve it closes at 3pm. If you are going to be in Zagreb and you are looking for something original to visit, this museum is undoubtedly one of the most interesting places.
