The Happiness Museum

Rules for happiness: something to do,
someone to love, something to hope for.

— Immanuel Kant

Wonderful Copenhagen has opened a Happiness Museum.

Established by the Happiness Research Institute—I want a job there—the museum comprises eight rooms dedicated to the science of joy.

One room features an atlas of the world’s happiest—and unhappiest—nations. Another explores how money and politics contribute to happiness. And still others examine merriment's connection to comfort, pleasure, laughter, and smiling.

“Our hope is guests will leave a little wiser, a little happier and a little more motivated to make the world a better place,” museum director Meik Wiking told Hyperallergic.
