Museum of Broken Relationships – Zagreb, Croatia

Instead of throwing them away or burning them, they donate the items to the museum. They also reveal the stories behind the breakup, although the name of the person involved is left anonymous. You will find almost anything in this museum. From prosthetic leg to false teeth, all things weird are there. The reason for visiting it is that you want to feel like you are not alone in this sad story. A lot of people in this world have also felt what you are feeling right now.
Juliet’s Wall- Verona, Italy
Though the story of Juliet whose relationship ended with a tragedy is fictitious, the stories written on the wall are real.
