About the Exhibition

Rich nature and the wisdom to enjoy everyday life.

By experiencing Nordic living, you may just discover 'fragments of happiness.'

A mystical aurora, a forest full of life, and the beloved world of fairy tales—this is an experiential exhibition that fuses the history and charm of Northern Europe.

Northern Europe is a region with short daylight hours and long winters. Yet, it consistently ranks high on the World Happiness Report. The reason may lie in their deep appreciation for concepts like 'Hygge'—creating cozy, comfortable spaces—and 'Lagom'—finding the 'just right' balance in life. These values inspire countless ways to make daily life more enjoyable.

Overcoming harsh winters with richness of spirit and fully embracing the short summer—experience the Nordic way of life through this exhibition. Discover hints to finding 'fragments of happiness' from a culture that cherishes the small joys of everyday life.
