AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #27 : The Museum of Broken Relationships.

Every breakup leaves a trace, and I don’t mean just the memories, I mean that it’s almost impossible to destroy all those souvenirs. Having been involved in my share of breakups, I have agonized over what to do with old letters, concert tickets, stray scarves and silly gifts, or a postcard with a poem on it.
Years later, they still turn up in suitcases, boxes, and the back of closets. So I was delighted to hear that there is a museum in Zagreb, for just these problematic souvenirs: the Museum of Broken Relationships. Listen to this show for a musical answer to this museum.
