What do fuzzy handcuffs, a prosthetic foot, and an axe have in common? They're all permanent exhibits in the Museum of Broken Relationships.
This is not a conventional bricks and mortar museum but an art concept founded by Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic. They started it in Croatia but have travelled around the world with it, picking up new pieces from each location, with the stories that go with them.
By turning these items into museum exhibits, the donors get rid of the bad emotions that go with the mementoes.
To see some of the items online, go to http://brokenships.com/exhibits.php. Click on each object to get their story.
