Zagreb Again: The Museum of Broken Relationships

I'm sending you to Zagreb this morning -- to the Museum of Broken Relationships. I'm feeling much better today, but while my temperature's almost back to normal, and constant sneezing's been replaced by intermittent coughing, I'm going to direct most of my energy toward healing -- which means I'll mostly be reading a Donna Leon mystery, knitting a sock, and watching episodes of Offspring. . .

But while I'm coughing, you can move through the rooms of this delightfully quirky, richly human, surprisingly funny, devastatingly poignant exhibition of heartbreak housed in a marvelous old baroque palace in Zagreb's Upper Town. If I were feeling better, I'd tell you a bit more about the inception of the museum and the ongoing and interactive work it continues to do. But I'm not -- sorry! -- and you can find that all out here.  I will tell you, very briefly, that all the artifacts in the museum had been donated (in response to a call for submissions) by those for whom they represented a heartbreak -- and that the words accompanying them were the words of those donors.

All I'm going to do this morning, in fact, is gently push you 'round the corner and into the first room of the museum, where you can peek (via my photos) at a few of the exhibits to get a sense of the museum's magic . . .

As I said, some of the exhibits devastate. . . .

We had our nine-year-old granddaughter here the last two days, and she and I were chatting yesterday evening about this museum. She visited it with her Mom and Dad in June when they over-nighted in Zagreb enroute to our family week in Hvar. And if you're wondering if the exhibit is suitable for kids -- and if the kids are readers and have a thoughtful, reasonably patient personality -- she gave it a thumbs-up, although she remembered that "some of the stories are really sad."

The sad stories, though, are so well balanced with the entertaining or the truly funny.

And above all, I guess, the exhibits testify not only to the ubiquity, maybe even inevitability of heartbreak, but also to human resilience. . . .

How wry is this? And I won't apologize for the difficulty of reading the print in these photographs (although I'll suggest you enlarge by clicking or finger-spreading) -- because part of the charm I remember from walking through these rooms is the invitation to read the plaques on the wall, to interpret their significance, especially in context with any accompanying artifact. As above, and below. . .

Now tell me, has there ever been a "Toaster of Vindication" in your life? Or its equivalent?

Our brief tour is over, and Pater is bringing the convalescent her breakfast in bed. I wish you a Happy Labour Day Weekend -- oh, and if you are still harbouring remnants of a relationship that ended in heartbreak, the Museum of Broken Relationships continues to accept contributions. . . What would you send them, if you still had it? I know, that's really personal, isn't it? Perhaps just tell me if you think you'd enjoy spending more time in this museum. Or whether I've finally convinced you to head to Zagreb. Or how you're feeling about the end of summer -- not quite here yet, but Labour Day weekend does launch us into September, if not quite Fall for three more weeks. . .
Because, as you know, comments are always welcome here. . .
