Last Friday the usual Breakfast of Excellence was switched from the TASTee Grill to the Village Restaurant in Hardwick, as Sandy and Kevin had plans to visit the Museum of Everyday Life. I'd always heard about the museum, but somehow never made my way to it, which is shameful because it's absolutely wonderful. It is, as the name suggests, a celebration of the quotidian. There is a regular collection, in the main barn, and then a separate space for a temporary collection, in this case focusing on Stains. It was absolutely amazing. I'll definitely go back soon.
The main entrance, i.e. the upper barn.
In the temporary Stains collection you could mess with Stained Glass, which gave Sandy the opportunity to express his artistic side.
Thanks to Kevin to organizing the trip!
The museum, for many reasons, reminded me of the Museum of Broken Relationships, as both celebrated objects that anyone could contribute.
It was also like the Museum of Broken Relationships in that some of the displays were truly heartbreaking, so as this one.
