The Nobel Prize Museum sits on Stortorget, the old square in Gamla Stan, the historic heart of Stockholm, Sweden. It is dedicated to the Nobel Prize, to Alfred Nobel, the man who founded it, and to the laureates who have received the award over the years.
What you will find
The museum tells the story of the prize itself and of the people behind it. Visitors can follow Alfred Nobel's life and the ideas that led to the awards, and then move through the work of the laureates honoured across different fields. It suits anyone curious about science, literature, peace and the stories of people who changed their fields.
