BOOKS FROM CROATIAThe Museum of Broken Relationships
by Olinka Vistica, Drazen Grubisic
Description:
When Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic split up, they did what no separated couple had ever done before - they set up a museum dedicated to mementos of love, and the touching, often humorous stories of how that love developed. And how it ended. The Museum of Broken Relationships, in the Old Town of Zagreb, has since become an international phenomenon. Tens of thousands of people from around the world have sent in objects that summed up or marked their relationship, including a red wedding dress, an axe, and a modem from a Commodore 64. Through this collection of curious exhibits, the museum brings together stories of breaking up that might seem extraordinary, but that resonate with us all.
