The Museum of Broken Relationships is an art concept which proceeds from the assumption that objects possess...holograms of memories and emotions, and intends with its layout to create a space of secure memory in order to preserve the heritage of broken relationships. That's why it could be therapeutic. The museum, which has actual displays as well as a virtual, online space, has everything from romantic letters to photographs to gifts given to lovers such as soft toys, but also includes unusual exhibits such as a prosthetic leg donated by a war veteran who fell in love with his physiotherapist. In Berlin, an axe used by a woman to break up her ex-girlfriend's furniture, along with the borken furniture, was on display alongside a wedding dress and a pair of skates. Every single object in the museum is anonymous, and has a description of the relationship it was part of.
“分手博物馆”是一种艺术理念，它的创意源于这样一种假设，即这些物品都承载着人们的记忆和情感，采取这样一种展览的形式是为了为失恋的人们创造一个安全的记忆空间，来珍藏破裂感情的“遗物”。这就是为什么它能够疗伤的原因。除实地展览外，“分手博物馆”还有一个虚拟的网上展览空间，展出的物品五花八门，不仅有情书照片和毛绒玩具等送给对方的礼物，还包括一些不常见的东西，比如一位参战老兵捐赠的一段假肢，当年他与护理他的医生坠入爱河。在柏林的展览上还出现过一位女士用来砸烂自己前女友家具的斧子，以及那些破碎的家具。此外，还有一件婚纱和一双溜冰鞋。每件物品都是匿名展出，但配有与之相关的那段感情的简要说明。
