The Museum of Broken Things is thrilled to unveil its newest exhibition, Broken Promises: The Fragility of Commitments, an evocative exploration of the promises that shape—and sometimes break—our lives. From personal vows to political pledges, the exhibition shines a spotlight on the most intimate and public of failures, inviting visitors to reflect on the promises they’ve made, broken, or been broken by. The exhibit reminds us that while promises are powerful, they are also fragile, shaped by our complex human nature.

The Museum of Broken Things is expanding its unique collection in a musical direction with the donation of an exciting new exhibit. This special collection, dedicated entirely to albums and songs featuring the word “broken,” has been generously gifted to the museum by an anonymous donor. The exhibit will highlight how the concept of “brokenness” has resonated with artists across genres and generations, turning personal struggles, societal fractures, and emotional pain into powerful music. Visitors will now not only be able to see objects in disrepair but also listen to the sounds of brokenness through this curated musical experience.

In the heart of the city stands a museum unlike any other: the Museum of Broken Things. Dedicated to celebrating the imperfect, the fractured, and the forgotten, this unusual institution has captured the imagination of visitors with its eclectic exhibits of cracked pottery, rusted appliances, and worn-out furniture. Where other museums glorify perfection, this one revels in imperfection, telling stories of objects once prized that have since fallen into disrepair. The Museum of Broken Things offers a raw and unfiltered look at the fragility of both time and material objects, inviting guests to explore the beauty hidden within destruction.

This summer, the Museum of Broken Things is excited to announce its very own summer camp program, offering a creative and educational experience for 60 children from grades 5 to 10. The camp is designed to encourage kids to explore history, art, and storytelling through the lens of objects that have been broken, discarded, or forgotten. It’s a unique opportunity for young minds to dive into the world of broken things and learn how even damaged objects can hold beauty and meaning.
