Located in the basement of a late 18th-century building on Admiralgade in Old Town, the Happiness Museum is led by Meik Wiking, author of the three international bestsellers The Little Book of Lykke, The Little Book of Hygge and The Art of Making Memories.

 

Curated by the Happiness Research Institute; an independent body focusing on well-being and quality of life, the museum demonstrates how happiness is involved in every area of our lives, with eight rooms that examine the subject from different perspectives. According to the museum, the project was created with the goal of literally bringing happiness to life, and reminding visitors what it is that gives value to them and makes them feel good.
