When we travel, we usually have a list of sights that we want to see. Museums are on the list.</h1>\n<p>In Paris you have seen the Louvre, in New York the Metropolitan Museum, in Madrid the famous Prado. The list can be endless. But did you know there are museums with artefacts of somewhat unusual form? I am talking about sad memories, bad drawings, underwater objects, and ninja warriors. You didn\u2019t? Well, here is your chance, because these are some of the most, let\u2019s say, interesting ones <img src=\"https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f642.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude42\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>The Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb, Croatia</strong> </span></p>\n<p>Breakups are always difficult and sad. But, <strong>after their breakup, two artists from Zagreb decided to make something interesting \u2013 the Museum of Broken Relatinships.</strong> The artists are film producer, Olenka Vistica and academy painter, Drazen Grubisic from Zagreb, who were in a relationship for four years. <strong>When they broke up they didn\u2019t know what to do with all their joint possessions and joked that they could make a museum and keep them there.\u00a0</strong> In 2006, Drazen called Olenka and reminded her of that idea. They both asked their friends to donate items they had kept after breaking up with their partners and thus the first collection took form. <strong>It was exhibited for the first time that same year, at the 41st Zagreb Salon in the Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. </strong>A world tour followed, and the collection was exhibited in Argentina, the South African Republic, Singapore, Turkey, Germany, the Philippines, USA, Great Britain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Serbia. They continued to collect new items donated by museum visitors, most of which were brought by the citizens of Berlin when the exhibition came to that city in 2007.</p>\n<p>The museum officially opened in Zagreb in October 2010 and received the prestigious Kenneth Hudson Award from the European Museum Forum as the most innovative museum in Europe. The exhibited items are often accompanied by the love messages of their former owners and their testimonials, thoughts, and descriptions of the moments they had shared with their partners, of which the items reminded them. You will see a bottle opener used to open a bottle of wine on a first date, shoes worn by a lady at the first dinner with her beau, engagement rings, love songs, even a wedding dress. Interestingly, this was the first privately owned museum in Zagreb. It is open seven days a week, which may be one of the things that make it a favorite among tourists.

As a result, <strong>in 1964 the Japanese established a museum dedicated to the history of the ninja and ninjutsu in Mie Prefecture, near the Iga Ueno Castle.</strong> Jinichi Kawakami, who serves as the museum\u2019s honorary director, is proclaimed to be the 21st head of Iga\u00adry\u016b ninjutsu. The Iga ninja, to whom the museum is dedicated, were trained in hiding, handling explosives, medicine and the art of making poisons, but were also prepared for conventional warfare, like fighting without weapons. The museum collection is as impressive and interesting as the lives of these warriors. It includes ancient ninjutsu writings analyzed scientifically along with ancient ninjutsu weapons.\u00a0 The museum has audiovisuals, models and extensive displays of the weaponry and techniques employed by ninja. <strong>There are over 400 ninja tools on display, including shuriken actually used in the time of the ninja.</strong> The museum also features a model village with tours and demonstrations of its features. In the <strong>Mini Theatre</strong> within the museum, visitors can see interesting footage of ninja approaching stealthily, entering and then exiting the Ueno Castle unnoticed. In the <strong>Ninja Tradition Hall</strong>, visitors can find out more about the secret codes used by the ninjas, ninjutsu, see the day of a ninja and read the wise principles they lived by. On certain days, Ninja shows are performed, live demonstrations in the use of weapons like shuriken, swords, and kusarigama.</p>\n</div>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37315\" src=\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7.jpg 800w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-80x60.jpg 80w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-265x198.jpg 265w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-696x522.jpg 696w, https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/foto-4-7-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" /></p>\n<p>Art comes in various forms.
