Virtual Bus Trip: Museum of Broken Relationships


Wednesday, July 15, 2020.

We can’t take bus trips right now but, thanks to the internet, we can explore the world from the comfort of our homes. Every Wednesday, we’re presenting a series of links to cultural institutions in Chicago and beyond. Today we’ll visit the Museum of Broken Relationships.

The Museum of Broken Relationships is a physical and virtual public space created with the sole purpose of treasuring and sharing your heartbreak stories and symbolic possessions. It is a museum about you, about us, about the ways we love and lose. At its core, the Museum is an ever-growing collection of items, each a memento of a relationship past, accompanied by a personal, yet anonymous story of its contributor.

Explore the Museum’s collections of heartbreaking objects, such as the porcelain doll given to its contributor by her ex boyfriend’s parents after a sudden breakup or the postcard contributed by a 70-year-old woman given to her as a girl by a suitor who took his life when her parents would not allow them to marry.

Then submit your own breakup story or contribute an object left over from a previous relationship.
