Museum of happiness

Organised in 2009 by a family of Irina and Yuri Dryomin, The Museum of Happiness quickly became popular for ‘the feeling of pure joy it leaves you with’, as visitors say. 

The owners of the museum travel the world to gather the items, symbolising happiness to people of different cultures.
