Full Description
The Nobel Prize Museum on Stortorget
The museum is housed in the former Stock Exchange building on Stortorget, the oldest square in Gamla Stan, a building that also houses the Swedish Academy, just below the Royal Palace. It opened in 2001 to mark the hundredth anniversary of the first prizes, and today it is one of the most-visited museums in Stockholm's Old Town.
A Nobel Prize Museum visit combines stories, film and objects. You move through spaces that explain how ideas and discoveries have changed the world, and why the prizes are still considered the highest honour in science, literature and peace.
Alfred Nobel and the Laureates' Stories
The prizes were created by the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist and inventor of dynamite, who died in 1896 and left his fortune to reward those who bring the greatest benefit to humankind. The first prizes were awarded in 1901 in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace, and an economics prize was added in 1969.
The museum introduces the laureates as people, with their motivations, difficulties and achievements. You see how scientists, authors and freedom fighters worked, and how their stories connect across fields and generations.
The Permanent and Special Exhibitions
The permanent exhibition, These Things Changed the World, shows more than 200 artefacts from the museum's collection, telling stories of remarkable discoveries, courageous peace efforts, groundbreaking ideas and innovative literature. Videos and multimedia displays add context to each object.
Your ticket also gives access to the special exhibition, which changes over time. Daily guided tours in English and Swedish are part of the ticket, so ask the staff at the entrance for times. The tour is a good way to get more from the museum in a short time.
Planning Your Visit in Gamla Stan
Gamla stan is the nearest metro station, and the museum is a short walk through the old streets. Combine it with a walk to the Royal Palace, Stockholm Cathedral and the narrow lanes of the Old Town. Opening days and hours change by season, so check the calendar in the booking panel.
The best time to visit is in the morning or on a weekday afternoon. The museum shop sells literature, gifts and the chocolate Nobel medal. In October the winners are announced and in December the prizes are presented in Stockholm, except the Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo.
