The Museum of Everyday Life was founded in 2011 by Clare Dolan in Glover, Vermont.[1] It is an independently run museum whose mission is to capture a “...slow-motion cataloguing of the quotidian–a detailed, theatrical expression of gratitude and love for the minuscule and unglamorous experience of daily life in all its forms.”[2] The museum's focus is to highlight the beauty in everyday objects that are traditionally overlooked or taken for granted and does so by creating public exhibits, writing articles and manifestos in their philosophy department, and by creating and doing live performances.[3][failed verification]
The museum, housed in a 70-year-old barn on Dolan's personal property,[1] operates using the honor system where visitors are asked to turn on and off the lights as they come and go and are asked to make a donation instead of being charged admission.[4]
