Yes, really. The museum in Zagreb, Croatia, which opened last month, is giving people the chance to re-experience their most memorable – and regrettable – nights out.
Open seven days a week, the museum takes visitors on a tour through exhibits including displays of objects people found inexplicably the morning after a boozy night, a room where you can put on “beer goggles” (pictured inset) and test your reflexes and an interactive section where you can share your own best and worst hangover experiences (how to choose just one..)
The gift shop is also a laugh, with a “drunkopoly” board game, bar activities like darts and cards and ‘hangover wine’ (hangover guaranteed!)
So why celebrate those boozy nights that most people would rather forget?
24-year-old co-founder Rino Dubokovic – who also owns a start-up platform for low budget accommodation in Europe – says the idea came about after a conversation with some friends about their hangover stories.
“A friend spoke about how he woke up with a bicycle pedal in his pocket, and I thought, as I listened to him, ‘Why not set up a place, a museum, with the collection of these objects and stories that will illustrate in a funny way these evenings of drunkenness and the hangover the next day?” Mr Dubokovic told CBS News.
The museum is still only a pop-up, but they hope to now attract funding to make the exhibition permanent.
It wouldn’t be the first unusual museum to open in the Croatian capital. In 2010, an ex-couple set up the Museum of Broken Relationships, which encouraged people to donate objects related to their own romantic breakups.
I’d rather commemorate my hangovers thanks.
