In just two years, the Museum of Happiness has welcomed nearly 200,000 visitors and has established itself as a space where culture and well-being coexist. Its immersive tour is now complemented by a spring program that expands the experience with daily micro-workshops (on laughter therapy, hug therapy, or sensory stimulation), special activities on key dates such as Holy Week, Mother’s Day, or San Isidro, and educational offerings like psychologist Pablo Claver’s workshop. All of this reinforces its educational and social dimension— already evident in initiatives aimed at schoolchildren and groups at risk of exclusion—and is complemented by new facilities and an exhibition focused on emotions.
The Special Spring Program at the Museum of Happiness
This spring, from March 22 to June 22, the Museum of Happiness is offering a special program included with admission, featuring daily micro-workshops on laughter therapy, hug therapy, and sensory stimulation (at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM), activities tied to key dates such as Holy Week, Mother’s Day, or San Isidro, and the workshop “Happiness Is Within Our Reach, ” led by psychologist Pablo Claver on Mondays and Fridays at 6:30 p.m. The program is rounded out by a photography exhibition on emotions and new experiences along the tour route that enhance the visit.
What will you find at MüF all year round?
Where are the happiest people on the planet? Which hormones are responsible for our mood? What makes music convey emotions to us? All these questions (and many more) are answered throughout the tour of MüF, the Museum of Happiness.
Every corner of the space has been designed to help you learn how to be happier: it’s a journey through 600 m² where you can experience happiness through features like the laughter machine (the “risódromo”), the happiness ATM, or the Auditorium, where you’ll attend a “Happy Magic” show hosted by magician Miguel de Lucas. Plus, you can write on the wall the things that make you happy and inspire others to try activities that make them feel good. Whether it’s calling a loved one, giving someone a gift, or celebrating with a drink with your friends.
Thanks to all the explanatory panels, you’ll better understand how our body’s chemistry works, the different hormones that trigger pleasure, joy, and happiness, and how this leads to health and well-being.
MüF is designed to guide visitors through an immersive experience where positive emotions take center stage. Visitors will leave the museum knowingthe history of happiness, its curiosities, and its effects on our bodies and our lives.
The machines at the Museum of Happiness, created to make you smile
Inside MüF, more than 20 immersive experiences make up this unique museum. All are sensory, interactive, and educational, such as the laughter machine.
But not everything depends on machines; the different rooms will teach you other ways to get that happiness rush.
For example, one of them suggests doing something you’ve never done before or that, perhaps, you only did when you were a child, demonstrating that doing something for the first time generates dopamine and excitement.
More than a museum, MüF is a necessary break from the holiday rush: a place to remember that happiness isn’t found in the extraordinary, but in laughing, sharing, and letting yourself be carried away by a sincere smile.
