<p>Believe it -- The Museum of Broken Relationships is a real thing. Founders Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic established the museum&rsquo;s permanent collection, located in, Kulmer Palace in Zagreb, Croatia. It's an open collection too - &nbsp;the museum offers a chance to get over their relationships by contributing to its collection. Donors part with all sorts of things at the end of their affairs between tokens, shared belongings, and even tiny mementos.
