The tiny museum that has become an international phenomenon offers a crowdsourced book that celebrates the objects that outlast love"A decade ago, two lovers were struggling through their own painful breakup, desperate to heal their heartbreak without destroying the memory of the love they had shared. Then, an idea struck: They would create a communal space, a kind of refuge for--and cathartic celebration of the everyday objects that had outlasted love. These items, along with the anonymous, intimate stories each piece represented, quickly captured hearts and imaginations across the globe. As word spread, the tiny museum became a worldwide sensation. Now Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić have collected the best, funniest, most heartwarming, and thought-provoking pieces into a gorgeous book that offers an irresistible experience of human connection. The Museum of Broken Relationships is a poignant celebration of modern love--and a must-read for anyone who has ever loved and lost."--Back cover
