The Museum of Broken Relationships Indianapolis

The IUPUI Museum Studies Program is partnering with the Museum of Broken Relationships (based in Zagreb, Croatia) to develop a crowd-sourced exhibit about love, loss, and growth that will open at Herron Galleries and sites around Indianapolis in February 2023! My colleague Lois H. Silverman and I are leading the Indianapolis-based team of students and community partners.

Through October 20, we’re inviting people across Indianapolis to donate objects and stories about broken relationships of all kinds.

Read more about the project, including how we’re integrating it into our courses, on the Museum Studies blog.
