The Nobel Prize shows that ideas can change the world. The courage, creativity and tenacity of Nobel laureates inspire us and give us hope for the future. At the Stockholm Nobel Prize Museum, films, in-depth exhibitions and exhibits tell the story of the laureates from 1901 to the present day. In addition, you can learn interesting facts about the Nobel Prize and Alfred Nobel.
The Nobel Prize Museum has permanent and special exhibitions, the Bistro Nobel restaurant and a museum shop. Activities for children, events and a research library complete the offer.
Guided tours (English and Swedish) are included in the entrance fee. If you prefer to walk through the museum alone, audio guides are available.
The museum is located at Stortorget in the old town Gamla Stan, see picture above.
In the future, the museum will find a new home at the Slussen traffic junction, right next to Fotografiska. This is scheduled to happen in 2028. It will then be renamed “Nobel Center”.
Incidentally, the Nobel Prize Museum is neither directly nor indirectly involved in the nomination or selection of Nobel Prize winners. These procedures are strictly confidential and are regulated by the institutions that award the Nobel Prize.
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite
