The Happiness Museum is looking for interns for 2021 

Opened in July 2020, The Happiness Museum is the first of its kind in the entire world. Guests are given the opportunity to dive deep into the big questions in life, such as “Does more money make you happier?”, and “Why are the Nordic countries the happiest in the world?”. 

Every day at The Happiness Museum is different. Some days we are joined by journalists and TV crews for interviews, other days we host group visits from companies who are looking to make their workplace happier. Generally, we are here to make sure whoever visits us leaves the museum a little wiser, a little happier and a little more motivated to make the world a better place. 

As the host of the museum, a typical day at the museum will involve: 

• Welcoming all guests with a smile and organising their ticket

• Introducing guests to the museum and the Happiness Research Institute 

• Explaining the concept of the museum, the topics they will explore and the research behind them 

• Taking guests on small tours through the museum if requested 

• Checking in with guests throughout their museum 

• Generally engaging in conversations about the topic of happiness research 

• Ensuring all guests leave the museum having had a happy experience

Having been open for 1 year now, we are focussing on a new phase of developing the museum. Therefore, we are aiming to work with someone who would enjoy working independently and also together with the experts at the Happiness Research Institute to brainstorm and implement on: 

• Business development 

• Social media and content creation

• Public relations and outreach

• Marketing and communications

• Event planning 

As our new intern, we would like for you to gain insight into the workings of the machine behind The Happiness Museum, the Happiness Research Institute. Led by Meik Wiking, the Happiness Research Institute is an independent think-tank exploring why some societies are happier than others.

We are a highly diverse and international team - your new colleagues are Danish, German, Spanish, Lebanese, British and American. 

As a company we speak to each other in English, so we are looking for candidates who are fluent.  

We look forward to hearing why you think we are a good fit for each other.
