BOOK ACTIVITY

Nobel Prize Museum

2 Stortorget, Södermalm, Stockholms län

Description

The Nobel Prize Museum displays information about the famous award, Alfred Nobel (the prize founder), and the personal life stories of the laureates. It is housed in the former Stock Exchange Building, on the northern side of Stortorget in Stockholm's Gamla Stan. As a reminder, the Nobel Prize is awarded since 1901 (based on the founder's will) in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace.

Access & Transport

The museum is located between Stockholm Cathedral (Storkyrkan) and the popular square called Stortorget in the middle of Gamla Stan. The Slottsbacken and Riddarhustorget bus stops are both 400m away and it is a 15mins walk to the main train station. The accessible entrance is at the back of the museum from Storkyrkan’s yard / Slottsbacken. Accessibility info: https://nobelprizemuseum.se/en/visit-the-museum/tillganglighet/

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with a visit of the cathedral and an exploration of the neighbourhood.

Meta review

Online reviews are good but not exceptional for this museum that is described as being quite small, essentially "the Wiki page of Nobel laureates come to life" peppered with lots of interesting trivia about the founder and the prize. It is regularly characterized as the quintessential "good rainy day activity".

Environmental & Social

No environmental data available about the museum that is housed in a repurposed building. Some electricity consumption but not a large carbon footprint on a per capita basis. Cultural aspects

Conclusion

It had to exist in Stockholm but dealing with a long list of laureates or the narrow topic of a man & a prize was always going to be somewhat challenging or restrictive. A good but secondary museum, in our opinion

Key positive

Opportunity to learn more about a prize that we always hear about

Centrally located near attractions and restaurants

Key negative

Quite small and difficult to sustain attention span

Suitability

Accessible and suitable for all ages although children <14yr old may not find it interesting
