The concept was dreamt up eight years ago in Croatia when film producer Olinka Vistica and designer and artist Drazen Grubisic split up after four years. They refused to treat their broken relationship like "an illness" and instead set about celebrating their time together. They asked their friends to donate their own discarded love tokens and soon built up a large collection.

8年前，当电影制片人奥林卡·韦斯蒂卡和身为设计师兼艺术家的德拉赞·格鲁比希奇结束长达4年恋爱的时候，这对曾经的恋人就在克罗地亚提出了这个设想。他们不想把感情破裂当成 “伤病”一样对待，相反，他们开始着手庆祝曾经与彼此在一起的时光。他们让自己的朋友捐出“废弃”的爱情信物，很快他们便收藏了大量物件。

The London stop of the exhibition's world tour, lasts a week and spans two Covent Garden venues: the Tristan Bates Theatre and 38 Earlham Street.Tickets cost 3.50, and there are linked literary, film and dance events.

该博物馆世界巡回展的伦敦站将持续一周，贯穿科芬园的两个场馆——特里斯坦·贝茨剧院和38号及额拉姆街。每张门票售价3.5英镑，届时还将举行相关的文学、电影和舞会活动。

Laura Kriefman, of the Tristan Bates Theatre, said: "As you walk around reading these stories some of them are full of anger and hurt while others are full of joy and resilience."

特里斯坦·贝茨剧院的工作人员劳拉·克瑞佛曼说：“当你四处参观阅读那些故事时会发现，有些人充满愤怒和伤痛，有些人则满怀喜悦、活力依旧。”
