Traveling Teacher: The Happiness Museum

Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark!  

I can't believe I've had the priviledge of visiting this rather remarkable city.  There are many sites to see, but I had my heart set on the Happiness Museum from the start. 

In a previous post, I shared a bit about the Happiness Institute, a team of a people who are researching the causes of happiness and how we can make it more sustainable in our daily lives.  You can imagine my excitement when I discovered they had a physical place where you can experience it for yourself. 

While at the Happiness Museum, I happened to meet Anna who was managing the front desk.  She works full-time at the Happiness Institute and a founding member of the museum.  She was kind enough to take the time to meet with me about their mission and purpose.  Here is the interview. 

As I have reflected on my visit to Copenhagen, I can understand why Denmark has been voted the happiest place on earth.  This is a tall order, but when you regularly focus on well-being it manifests in daily actions and your culture. 

I can't wait for a second visit to this museum.
