This suit? It’s got a story.
Worn during a time when everything felt like it was leading to something big.
Big dreams, big plans and a future that felt certain.
That didn’t happen and now the suit is part of the museum, where love lives after the end.

A round, frost covered dessert with faded green and pink icing sits on a white plate inside a small display freezer. Behind it is a slightly blurred photograph of a young couple. The freezer is part of a museum exhibition, with a clean minimalist setup that highlights the frozen object as a preserved emotional artefact.

What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve ever seen in a museum? 🤔
We’ll go first:
A 35-year-old slice of heartbreak.
Found in her parents’ freezer decades after the breakup.
Now on display, inside its own freezer, in our museum in Zagreb. 🍰
