이곳은 부부였던 올린카 비시카(Olinka Vištica)와 드라젠 그루비시치(Dražen Grubišić)에 의해 2010년에 설립된 독특한 Museum입니다. Broken Relationships을 어떻게 번역할까요? 깨어진 관계? 파열된 관계? 상처받은 사랑? 이룰수 없는 사랑? 여하튼 그런 것들의 흔적을 모아둔 Museum입니다.
Museum of Broken Relationships은 상처받은 사랑이지만 그래서 쉽게 잊히지도 않는 추억의 장소라고도 할 수 있습니다. 이곳은 각가지 물건들이 지나간 시간을 거슬러 올라가며 끊어진 인연의 아픔을 추억하는 장소입니다. 여기에 전시된 편지들은 마치 잃어버린 사랑의 노래처럼 읽히며, 부러진 심장의 파편들을 불현듯 다시 살아나게 합니다. 빛나는 사랑의 기억과 아픈 이별의 순간들이 그림과 글자 사이에서 춤을 추며, 우리의 마음에 깊이 파고듭니다.
Museum of Broken Relationships에는 과거의 애틋한 손길을 담은 물건들로 가득 차 있습니다. 이 것들은 종종 진한 동정심과 슬픈 미소도 함께 자아내게 합니다. 세계 각처에서 보내온 물품들은 실패한 사랑의 아픔을 호소하는 것뿐만 아니라, 함께 공유하는 경험에 대한 감사의 표현이기도 합니다.

She could not come along. At the airport we said goodbye in tears, and she was assuring me she could not survive three weeks without me. I returned after three weeks, and she said: “I fell in love with someone els...

A plush Snoopy
30 years

He gave Snoopy to me on my 17th birthday. We had fallen in love six months earlier, on October 5, 1981. Thirty years down the line, we had three sons, a house etc. He fell in love with another woman and he chose her... He broke my heart. Telling me that he hadn’t really loved me in those 30 years. I just don’t understand.
A key - bottle opener
Ljubljana, Slovenia
You talked to me of love and presented me with small gifts every day; this is just one of them. The key to the heart. You turned my head; you just did not want to sleep with me. I realized just how much you loved me only after you died of AIDS.
