Reviews of The Museum of Everyday Life
To quote the founder, “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.”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.”
Think about pencils, scissors, miniature things and a dragon made from tinfoil?? It was back over the winter and I forgot to review when we went to Glover. I remember ready about this odd, cool, artsy museum and thought! Yes!!! I have to pop in! And yes, make a donation!
Usually only one other couple or family in there if that, Glover isn’t a huge town, heck Vermont isn’t a huge state! So give this little museum some love! Pop in for even :30, you didn’t think of it! Take a photo for Instagram or for your Nana, heck take your Nana, then go to lunch!!!
Go, enjoy your day and don’t for parking is easy and the museum is fun!😜
One of the strangest and yet most fascinating places I've been to. Lots of odd and weird stuff on display. You really have to stop and read about what it is to really appreciate it.
A quaint collection of, as the name suggests, everyday life. This museum walls the line between weird collection of random things and actual informative museum nicely.
To me the little things we barely notice would be great to preserve, as it shows how we've changed over time. What was it like to brush your teeth decades ago? What did people carry in their pocket or suitcase? Neat things like that are fun to see. Plus, it's a donation-based museum. It's worth a quick stop just to see what it's all about!
Super cute, little but very special. Worth a visit and a donation for sure.
Self lead museum with very interesting displays that change throughout the year. Lots of local found objects, antiques and interactive pieces for you to participate in. We need more museums like this one.
What a cool roadside attraction! Literally a museum of mundane items, but with some social history and personal stories attached.
Funky place. Inspiring and whimsical. You can come in, turn the lights on, pay if/what you wish, buy the postcards as well. Little area for the kids in the back to cut snowflakes during the exhibitions featuring scissors.
Worth a detour! Such fun to read the humorous signage on the random pieces in their collection-- plus it's free. (though recommend a donation!)
This was a wonderful museum that had many items on display, ranging from thought-provoking to funny to informative and back again. If you're in the area, I certainly recommend stopping by.
What a fascinating find! Places like this keep Vermont weird - in a good way! Be there.
Simply wonderful. A magical wonderland of scintillating fragments of existence. Well worth the trip.
Eclectic. Eccentric. Extraño. ¡Worth visiting and making a donation!
Worth visiting when you want to contemplate the everyday and seemingly mundane. A lot of thought goes into the collections being exhibited here, making it a worthwhile stop to ponder the ordinary (or kill time while waiting for Hill Farmstead to open)
An unexpectedly fun place to go. Didn't know it was there. Just saw it as we drove by. A must see
Cool place to visit if you're in the vicinity! ❤️
Great, strange museum! I love Vermont and all the strange local things it has to offer! The theme was “scissors” so we gave my friend a haircut!!!
This is one of the most bizarre places I've ever been to. It's a must see attraction is you are anywhere near the area.
Great little museum of eclectic items of from American life.
Intriguing take on everyday life! Definitely worth the stop if you are passing by!
Unique, interesting, and whimsical. Very well done!
Well now.... That was... Something! 😳😆 Get ready to embark on a rambling tour of assorted human items of utter obscurity! It's a beautiful drive up to this location, be ready for a couple of barn rooms of old, odd, random and assorted items both whimsical and gross 😝 Perfect for a Sunday adventure if you're within a couple hours drive! I would not suggest bringing young kids/toddlers though, they would likely be bored instead of entertained by the quirkiness, and there's too much stuff easily accessible to small hands that they might get into...
There's a great pizza place also quite randomly a few miles further down the road, Parker Pie, we heard about though we didn't stop. Good way to make a day of it!
If you're at all like Rick Ross, then everyday you're hustling. I certainly recommend you eventually pause, slow your role, and visit this museum. It very well may broaden your perspective in surprising ways. If it opens your mind enough, you may enjoy the Bread and Puppets museum down the road afterward.
Dont be fooled, does not look like much from the outside, but this is a MUST STOP!
You won't be disappointed...
What an interesting concept for a museum. Seemingly mundane items we use everyday given a new twist and new stories. Take your time and read all of the placards and letters associated with each section. Every item will evoke a special memory from your past and eyerolls from your children. It's a beautiful drive to the secluded spot, and worth the free admission (but please be generous with your donations). We need more places like this.
We visit MEL every year , charming ,self serve, compilation of the off beat . Humorous and human. This year we made the rounds seeing Bread and Puppet and Stone House museums along with MEL , a very pleasant Northeast Kingdom trio . Bookended by local breakfast and lunch stops and a farmers market side trip for dinner ingredients . Good therapy, love Vermont!
So very cute and always interesting. A creative take on the mundane with a dash of nostalgia and a sense of community.
Private collection very well done, even if in an open barn welcoming the elements of wind and temperature. Everyday items and some curiosities are displayed. I enjoyed strolling through this. By ( well deserved) donation.
definitely not for the scared type. lots of interesting exhibits but super creepy and eerie. went with a family of four (2 kids 15 & 13) were super creeped out by some of the stuff, otherwise interesting place definitely different and cool.
Right down the road from Bread and Puppet, the exhibits are interesting and make you stop to think twice about the small things we all do in life. I enjoyed the exhibit on lists the most, I think.
GREAT ! unique! fun! Inspiring! different! creepy! awesome! a must see!
PS: I am shocked that someone called this Museum "creepy" and gave it less than 5 stars. Sensitive!
Very nice, relaxing break, to look around and think while you look at clever and creatively modified everyday items, and more.
No set price, there are suggestion for donation in a Bin in the front.
Do yourself a favor and stop by. I'm not going to say anything about this place because it's so unique. If you are going to bread and puppet please stop in.
Unique roadside museum with fantastic curation. Well worth the stop.
Love this countryside farm style museum. The entire thing is an awesome, well set up, funny experience that I will never forget.
Such a cool museum. Never been to another like it, very interesting and the curator must be a very interesting person.
Unique and funky with all of the endless possibilities of whimsy and magical curiosities 🤩 I suggest a visit, you will not be disappointed; I can’t wait to go back and contribute to the exhibits ❤️ …
Some very interesting things. If you are in the area and have time stop in, but don't go out of your way.
Such a strange place but actually one of our favorite places we stopped. Go there with an open mind and you wont be disappointed
Nice free cutesty quirky museum to stop by on your travels. Very limited parking.
I’ve been on a cross country museum themed road trip for the past two months and the Museum of Everyday life is one of my favorites! A must see.
Weird quirky museum that's fun to look through
This was one of the coolest places I have seen in awhile. Fun and educational. Our children loved it.
Awesome little museum that pres ents new angles to things that you take for granted. Definitely worth a stop!
Definitely visit if you are anywhere close. And by that I mean, within 90 or say 120 miles? Guaranteed thought maker and mundane buster.
Lovè this place! We love to go 2x a year to visit the quirky little museum. Go and enjoy.
Quirky, unusual and interesting.
Read the manifestos while you are there. They are moving and beautifully written.
Very cool place, I would "knot" have wanted to miss it!
Quirky. Funnier, cleverer and more interesting than expected. I would give it more stars if I could... Absolutely worth a detour.
Bizarre and wonderful.
Great concept for a museum in northern Vermont no less.
Super trendy!
A must-see museum for conceptual artists and latter day existentialists.
A handmade Museum in the finest Vermont tradition.
Quirky and unique!
Wheelchair friendly for the most part
Wore a foam pencil costume while viewing an exhibit on the history of the pencil. It don't get better than that.
Sweet and informative
Very cool little museum. Worth a detour.
Quirky and fun! Would highly recommend!
So quirky, creative and odd, I love it!
Intelligent, funny, and charming. Worth the detour!
No words. Just go for yourself and experience it :)
Stopped here on a whim, left feeling inspired.
So much love for this place!
What a fun place to visit!
So cool!
Weird in that Vermont way
Open to all at any time.
