The Happy Museum Project looks at how the UK museum sector can respond to the challenges presented by the need for creating a more sustainable future.

Our proposition is that museums are well placed to play an active part, but that grasping the opportunity will require  reimagining some key aspects of their role, both in terms of the kinds of experience they provide to their visitors and the way they relate to their collections, to their communities and to the pressing issues of the day.

The Happy Museum Project – New Commission Fund Launched

Happy Museum is delighted to announce a third open application fund available to English museums and a new fund open to museums in Wales. This funding is available to museums who demonstrate they can promote thinking around happiness and well-being––brought together with issues of environmental sustainability––and can leave a legacy of cultural change within their organizations and communities.
