When Relationships Fail, This Museum Keeps the Stuff Left Behind
Anyone can donate a memento from an unsuccessful romance to the Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia, no matter how sentimental or quirky.

When they were lovers, the two Croatians had a cutesy ritual: When one of them came home, the other would wind up the fluffy rabbit and send it scampering around their house to welcome them. And when either went abroad on a business trip, they would take the white bunny with them and snap photos with it at tourist spots. It was such a symbol of their time together, Vistica said, that she didn’t think either of them should keep it.
At that moment, the pair could have fallen into a bitter argument — but, instead, they had a brain wave: “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a place where everyone on the planet could send objects after a breakup?”
