Exploring Danish Happiness on view at Museum of Danish America through April 2015
News courtesy of the Museum of Danish America —
Denmark frequently makes news as “one of the happiest countries on Earth,” but what does that really mean? How does one measure the “science of happiness?”
A group of researchers in Denmark formed the Happiness Research Institute and created an exhibition to share their findings. This 10-panel exhibition is on view at the Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn, Iowa in the new multimedia room.
As of summer 2015, it will be available to travel to other organizations throughout the country, please contact curator Tova Brandt at 712-764-7001 to inquire about borrowing this exhibit for your community.
The Danish Pioneer’s traveling exhibit consists of five tall panels, which are easy to transport and display. The panels tell the story of the newspaper’s unique history from 1872 until today.
In addition, there are other Travel Exhibits if you are interested, including an interesting Five-Panel Exhibit on The Danish Pioneer Newspaper. Please inquire with Tova about a list of Travel Exhibits and please tell her that you heard about the Traveling Exhibit Program from The Danish Pioneer Newspaper.
