Another exhibit from the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb. The last photo I posted (Snoopy) was quite sad, but this ending of a perhaps once happy relationship has a more comedic side. The exhibit panel reads:
“When I moved out, and across the country, I took the toaster. That’ll show you. How are you going to toast anything now?”
The relationship was in Denver, Colorado, between 2006 and 2010.
My visit to Zagreb was a few years ago, but this is the Museum of Broken Relationships, a cheery little museum which is quite a beautiful idea I think. And it’s still going strong.
“He gave Snoopy to me on my 17th birthday. We had fallen in love six months before, on October 5 1981. Thirty years later, we have three sons, a house, etc. He fell in love with another woman and he chose her. He broke my heart. He said that for thirty years he hadn’t loved me at all. I just don’t understand”.
I found the whole museum quite addictive, the messages verge from sadness with this one to those which are rather more vengeful and angry. All quite thought provoking really.
