Connect deeper with your travels by joining the Earthwide movement to collect moments for Egglie's Museum of the Mundane

Curiosity, wandering, and exploration are intrinsically human. When people travel, they’re looking for that but they don’t always succeed. Many travellers race through instagram spots in tightly packed itineraries, trying to make the most of long weekends, returning exhausted and needing a vacation from these vacations.

Appreciating travel, like appreciating art, is something that takes learning and practice. Egglie's Museum of the Mundane explores rekindling the wonder of wandering. By emphasizing everyday experiences over landmarks, it slows people down to connect with themselves, other humans, nature, and new places.

Welcome to Egglie's World!

Egglie is an observer from a planet thousands of light years from Earth called Beygl-33. The machine beings inhabiting Beygl-33 don’t perceive things like humans. They experience everything everywhere all at once: all of spacetime. In Egglie’s observations of the universe, it came across planet Earth and the whimsical human creatures that experience life one moment at a time, in all its colours, sounds, tastes, and feelings. Egglie fell in love and created the Museum of the Mundane on its home planet so other Beyglandians can experience these moments through proxy. It noticed that not all humans are aware of these moments as wonderful, but travelers to foreign lands seemed to do it best, so it decided to enlist travelers as its eyes and ears to capture moments for its Museum of the Mundane. 

Egglie’s Museum of the Mundane is a gadget & app duo:

The Transponder: gives open-ended, location based curiosity prompts, inspired by stories from the location. It is separate from the phone, intentionally mimicking a disposable camera, asking users to focus on the moment rather than the outcome of the photo.

The Mobile Museum: an experience that allows travellers to see their captured moments during their rest breaks and also see other travellers' interpretations on the prompts through the Museum. This is a map experience which should prompt people to go off the beaten path.
