Diez’s passion project caught the attention of Onor Hanreck Wilkinson, a researcher at the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. Since 2013, the Happiness Institute has researched how peoples’ happiness is affected by social media, careers, COVID-19, and other factors.

“Many people coming to our office probably think it’s a crazy utopia where we have puppies and ice cream,” Dr. Wilkinson said. Although they do not provide puppies, they perform research on what makes people happy.

In July 2020, the Happiness Research Institute opened the Happiness Museum. Researchers share information about happiness and why many believe that Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world.

When the Museum opened, researchers asked for donations of objects that give their owners joy. They received hundreds of submissions. Diez came across this call for donations and sent some of her Comfort Seeds. She also told the researchers about how her seeds have helped children through therapy.

Wilkinson and his colleagues were incredibly touched by Diez’s seeds. “We thought it was so touching,” Wilkinson said. Not only did they make Diez’s seeds one of the 18 displayed donations, but they also offered her a permanent exhibit.
