Ever been in a messy breakup and feel the need for catharsis?
Some people in Croatia felt the exact same way, creating a museum to host seemingly random, but also at some points poignant, relics of relationships past.
The museum was built to pay tribute to the relationship of Croation film producer Olinka Vistica and artist Drazen Grubisic.
It has since become a runaway hit with the locals, prompting a branch of it to open in Los Angeles, California.
The general template of the entries seems to be:
- the duration of the relationship,
- the location of the relationship and
- a short description of said relationship.
So wide is the appeal of the museum, and so entrenched is the idea of heartbreak, that there are entries from as far away as Asia — specifically, Singapore.
This is the entry in question:
In case you can't view the description, it reads "no wonder we were hidden" — we won't assume what it refers to, but it could possibly be the bra's padding.
The description is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking and profoundly Singaporean.
Which kind of describes the tone, less the Singaporean part, of the museum in general.
From wilting roses, with a description that preemptively apologised for not showing up at his funeral...
... to a surprisingly profound reflection on an empty tube of toothpaste.
Ending with this line.
So if you ever see this and recognise that it's me, please give me a call, I want to know that you're well.
And this devastating display of a thousand cranes:
The caption accompanying it:
One Thousand Origami Cranes
April 23, 2010 to January 29, 2012
Mexico City, Mexico
"But I appreciate the contribution he made to my life, even in leaving me..."
We can't wait for a Singaporean version to open with displays of used designer bags and discarded NDP fun packs.
