Do you know that there is actually a museum called the Museum of Broken Relationships dedicated to the heartbreaks in Croatia just like Elvis' song Heartbreak Hotel? Our contemporary art centre 104 has recently collaborated, for the first time, with this museum from Zagreb, which showcases stories of relationship failures and the psychological impacts on different people under the circumstances that are often hidden in the heart. Conceptualized by Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić, this exhibition has traveled around the world and has collected objects given by random people who wish to leave a trace of their past love as a form of therapy. This exhibition is an exceptional concept which combines contemporary art, museology, cathartic experience and cultural anthropology. An intimate and universal proposition for everyone beyond the cultural, artistic identities. Here are some heartbreak memories left from the exhibition.
