Root Division says…

Croatian curators Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić have an answer to Jimmy Ruffin's pop-charting query, "What becomes of the broken-hearted?" Thanks to the duo, their wounded egos and trammeled emotions wind up in a museum. For two years, Vištica and Grubišić have toured the globe, allowing the lovelorn to excise painful memories and lingering attachments by donating the symbolic detritus of their failed relationships. Appropriately enough, the Museum of Broken Relationships comes to SF just in time for V-Day — perhaps providing some much needed catharsis for the more recently jilted.
