At the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, displayed on glowing white shelves, are the little tokens, presents and shared stuff left behind in the wake of romantic breakups. Producer Cathy FitzGerald takes you through the museum collection with a light-hearted audio-guide for radio, and finds out the stories behind the objects. We hear the tales of the scorned and broken-hearted. (Note: This program originally aired on January 4, 2013.)

This story was produced by Cathy FitzGerald and Matt Thompson, a Rockethouse production for BBC Radio 4.
