The Museum of Everyday Life

Published by erica on October 28, 2017 | 3 Comments

The mission of The Museum of Everyday Life is “a heroic, slow-motion cataloguing of the quotidian–a detailed, theatrical expression of gratitude and love for the miniscule and unglamorous experience of daily life in all its forms.”

The museum’s home is in a barn on Route 16 in the Northeast Kingdom. It is my favorite museum. This is a show featuring the museum’s creator, Clare Dolan.

This show is co-produced by Erica Heilman and Mark Davis. Mark is my friend and a very good journalist at Seven Days. Here are some of my favorite articles from Mark:

Feuding in Victory

Death by opiates in 2016

Final conversations with overdose victims

A fond rembrance of Howard Frank Mosher

Game warden
Pictures from the Museum of Everyday Life, in summer and winter

   

One of my favorite things in the toothbrush exhibit.

    The most recent episode reminded me of the Museum of Umbrella Covers in Portland, ME. Not umbrellas. Umbrella COVERS. Love your podcast. It’s not about Vermont; it’s about life, our society, humanity. Thank you! –Robin

    Oh my, how taoist! An obscure celebration of the ordinary. Thanks for a great story. In an age where people seem to be herded virtually, if not literally, down some narrow path of conformity and control, stories of folks like Ms. Dolan living out their own vision and lives is refreshing and hopeful.

    What an excellent episode! Though I am in Phoenix now, your show often brings me back to my childhood in Vermont. And makes me realize I need to get back there more often…
