When relationships freeze and shatter what can you do with all the objects that once meant so much? Instead of smashing them to pieces or soaking them with tears why not find a home for them in this museum?
From a teddy bear to a wedding dress and fluffy handcuffs, the exhibits here testify to love won and love lost.
The Museum's co-founder explains what it's all about.
Drazen Grubisic, co-founder of Break Up Museum, said, "The objects that are here, I think they represent all the stages of break-ups and how people go through them. And how people go through break up and how people go through love actually. It's, you might say, a love museum, just upside down."
The relics of failed love are donated anonymously.

Some of the objects, unfortunately, symbolise relationships with violent endings like the smashed garden gnome.
But the co-founder insists that it's not all bad.
Drazen Grubisic said, "If you spend a lot of time with someone and then you broke up, does it mean that all of it was bad? I don't think so. Maybe somewhere in your life you will want to remember some good parts, because there has to be something good, it just didn't work out."
So as much as it is a museum of sadness and pain and loss, it also is a museum of the fragile beauty of love.
