Nobel Prize Museum, Nobel Prize exhibition space in Old Town, Stockholm, Sweden
The Nobel Prize Museum is located in Stockholm's Old Town and presents comprehensive information about all laureates across all categories. The building uses objects, documents, and interactive media to explain the work of each recipient and their historical context.
The museum opened in spring 2001 for the Nobel Prize's 100th anniversary, in the former Stock Exchange Building on Stortorget. It was renamed the Nobel Prize Museum in 2019 when Erika Lanner became director. The Swedish Academy and Nobel Library share the building.
The museum occupies Börshuset, the former Stock Exchange Building, which also houses the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Library. Its bistro, Bistro Nobel, serves Nobel ice cream found nowhere else, and the undersides of its chairs are signed by Nobel laureates.
The location sits in the heart of the Old Town, making it easy to reach on foot. It helps to check tour times in advance so you can plan your visit around the available presentations.
The undersides of the chairs in Bistro Nobel carry signatures of Nobel laureates. The bistro also serves Nobel ice cream, which is available nowhere else, and Nobel tea, the blend served each year at the Nobel banquet.
