This past week, I got the opportunity to visit The Museum of Broken Relationships located in Los Angeles, California.
So, what’s this museum about?
“The Museum of Broken Relationships explores broken love and other human relationships – what they mean to us, what they tell us about what we share and how we can learn and grow from them. It is composed of objects donated anonymously by members of the public from all over the world. Each exhibit is an object (some of them ordinary, some of them extraordinary) and a story, which together recount a watershed event in someone’s life.”
The concept behind this place is amazing because it provides people with a sense of closure, a closure that they might have not been able to get anywhere else.
Getting to read the stories of complete strangers from all over the world was fascinating to me. Each and every one of these stories reminded me that even though some things may end, we eventually grow and learn from these experiences.
I highly recommend you pay this place a visit if you ever get the chance to because you will not regret it. Who knows? you may even find your name written in one of those exhibits.
