Where Some See Trash, She Sees Treasure

Hidden in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the Museum of Everyday Life is an artist-run museum devoted entirely to ordinary objects. Clare Dolan’s quirky institution elevates the mundane to the meaningful, with exhibitions exploring everything from matches to mending. Photographed for The New York Times, these images capture the museum's playful approach to folk art and its rural Vermont charm.
