Stockholm, Sweden - The Nobel Museum

A collection of data of Nobel laureates spanning from 1901 to the present, The Nobel Museum, is a great resource for all things that concern the Nobel prize. The Nobel Museum also has a great section devoted to the life, times, and experiences of the instituter Alfred Nobel (1833-1896). The Nobel Museum is dedicated to increasing the public knowledge base surrounding the Nobel Prize.

Located in the old town in the central district of Stockholm, Sweden, the Nobel Museum along with the Nobel Library and Swedish Academy, are all situated in the Stock Exchange Building. This building is located on the north side of the Stortorget square in old town Gamla stan.

Straight from the objective statement and manifesto printed by the museum, the main goal of the Nobel Museum is to be a "reflecting and go-ahead spirited memory of the Nobel laureates and their achievements as well as of the Nobel Prize and Alfred Nobel". The museum is able to accomplish these goals by offering theatre plays, debates related to science, exhibitions, films, and guided tours, along with a library of books and records and of course a souvenir shop. There are also celebrity related exhibits on display at the museum. Such famous celebrities like Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, Marie Curie and many others have exhibits created for them to name a few.

In the spring of 2001, The Nobel Museum was inaugurated just in time for the centenary anniversary of the Nobel Prize. Because of the great popularity of this museum, there is a need to increase the size of the museum. The museum has been scheduled to be relocated to a more ample building on Skeppsholmen, which is located on an islet in central Stockholm, in an area already full of museums and other institutions.
