Introduction
The Nobel Prize Museum stands on Stortorget, the main square of Stockholm's Gamla Stan old town, surrounded by colourful historic buildings and narrow lanes. Dedicated to the Nobel Prize, it uses objects, film and interactive displays to tell the life of Alfred Nobel, the origins of the prize, and the laureates and their achievements across the years. Talks and public activities help make abstract scientific research, literature and peace work tangible. The old town is itself Stockholm's most popular area for strolling, so the museum fits neatly with the Royal Palace and the cathedral. A visit takes about one to two hours and is an ideal way to learn the stories behind the Nobel Prize.
