Nobel Museum

When it comes to the world’s highest awards in science and society, the first thing that might come to mind for many is the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize was founded using part of the fortune of Alfred Bernhard Nobel, the famous Swedish chemist and inventor of nitroglycerin, as an endowment. The prize includes a gold medal, a diploma, and a cash award. In his will, he proposed that a portion of his estate (9.2 million US dollars) be used to establish a fund, the interest from which would be used to award five prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace (with the later addition of the Economics Prize), to scholars from around the world who have made significant contributions to humanity in these fields.

The Nobel Museum (Nobel Museum) is dedicated to promoting information about the Nobel Prize, Nobel laureates, and the life of Alfred Nobel. It is located on the northern side of Stortorget (the main square) in Stockholm’s Old Town, Sweden, in the same building as the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Library — the former Stock Exchange Building. The museum opened in the spring of 2001, on the centenary of the Nobel Prize, and features exhibitions, a cinema, a theater, and scientific debates, as well as a bookstore, souvenir shop, and café. Since its opening, the Nobel Museum has attracted a large number of visitors to Stockholm, offering them insight into the individuals who have contributed to the progress of human science, history, and civilization.
