Nobel Prize Museum - Ideas can change the world

The Nobel Prize Museum is devoted to promoting the courage, creativity and perseverance of Nobel Laureates. Through exhibitions, dialogues, school programmes and lectures the museum invites you to consider the great issues of our time. The ideas and work of Nobel Prize recipients have and can change the world.

Alfred Nobel was a man full of ideas. He was a chemist, engineer, inventor, businessman and philanthropist, and he invented dynamite. Nobel knew that other people were also bubbling with ideas and decided to give money to these people, and that is how the Nobel Prizes got started.

A notable Nobel Prize Laureate is Marie Curie, who is one of five people to receive two Nobel Prizes and the only person to win them in two different sciences, one for physics and one for chemistry. As well as individuals, institutions can also win the award. The International Committee of the Red Cross has won the Nobel Peace Prize three times, and is the only one to do so.

The museum has three exhibitions, two of them are permanent. The main permanent exhibition is Cultures of Creativity, this Centennial Exhibition aims to give visitors the chance to consider two important questions: What is creativity and how can creative activity best be encouraged? And which is more important to the creative process: the individual or the environment?

The exhibition presents selected Laureates work and personalities, as well as their working environments. Over thirty prize winners are covered in the exhibition. Meanwhile, the exhibition also tells of the history of the Nobel Prizes themselves, as well as considering well-known prizes and controversial prizes.

The second permanent exhibition, the Bubble Chamber, is aimed at kids.
