Museum of Broken Relationships to visit San Francisco

Originally set up as an exhibit in Croatia, founders Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic have taken their Museum of Broken Relationships on an international tour. The museum is filled with artifacts from failed relationships.

All the artifacts on display have been donated by real people from cities the exhibit has visited. Each item is accompanied by a brief explanation. For example, an axe on display was used to break apart the furniture of a former lover. Other items donated range from sex-cuffs (pictured right) to a prosthetic leg. The founders said they decided to create the exhibit...

...after consoling friends over failed romances, and hope its global tour will
offer people the chance to overcome the pain of heartbreak through art.

Currently on display in Singapore, the Museum of Broken Relationships will be making it's North American debut in San Francisco on Valentine's Day. So for those of you planning to spend the terrible Hallmark-holiday alone, try taking a trip down to the Root Division gallery, enjoy a creative art-display and remind yourself that most people are just as miserable, broken-hearted and alone as you are.
