This unique museum has won the award for best new Museum in Europe for 2011 and deservedly so. II's fascinating how someone came up with this concept of people displaying momentums that remind them of their broken relationships side-by-side with a description of how and when their relationships ended. The display itself is done in a very sophisticated interesting way.... More

As others have stated, it is the most interesting and unique museum you will visit! It evokes laughter, sadness, tugging at your heartstrings, raising your eyebrows at a few, and probably several other emotions I haven't mentioned. Just as a change from the history, art, and other wonderful cultural museums in Croatia, you should really visit this place for a... More

I was recently touring Zagreb and was taken to the Museum of Broken Relationships which was housed in a small building that started out to be a temporary exhibit and turned into a permanent one that constantly rotates. The staff was friendly and fun and the displays are items of all types along with a story by the person who... More

This original and cute museum holds belongings and stories of how couples broke up. You can laugh, cry or get identified with some items over there. Is quite well organized and you can buy some fun and different souvenirs like my "bad memories" eraser. Enjoy it!!

I don't normally write reviews on attractions but just had to for this one. I've lived in London for two years and have travelled in Europe a bit so have been to my fair share of museums, and this is by far the most original museum I've seen. It's a small place, and there is a 25 kuna (€3.50) entrance... More

I thought it was going to be a funny if not hilarious museum, but it turned out to be a strangely moving place where you can read ordinary people's sometimes not-so-oridnary love stories. The museum shop worths exploring and you can even chat with one of the founders of the museum when she's not too busy.

We came on our honeymoon: it's not what you think. It was nice to see the story behind some of these inanimate objects and how they could evoke such feeling. The museum stands as a testament to how strong love is and how lust can be confused w/it sometimes. All the stories, no matter how heart wrenching and sad, still... More
