There is no such person who would never have heard of the Nobel Prize. As you know, Alfred Nobel's birthplace is Sweden , and here is a museum dedicated to laureates of the famous and prestigious award.
The museum's activities
In the spring of 2001, the Nobel Museum was inaugurated. It is located in the old part of the city, in the premises of the former stock exchange. The main idea of the organization is enlightening activity in the issues of natural sciences. For this purpose the museum:
- holds meetings and debates;
- arranges interesting theatrical performances;
- shows scientific films;
- organizes thematic exhibitions seminars on the problems of the modern world.
For the entire time of the existence of the Nobel Prize, more than 800 people have been awarded the honor of receiving the famous prestigious award. Portraits of these people and brief information about the achievements of each of them can be seen on the improvised cable car of the museum. It passes under the ceiling, which is very unusual for institutions of this kind.
Some features of the Nobel Museum
Not everywhere museums provide their visitors, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, the opportunity to replenish the stock of wasted energy. For this, the Nobel Museum has a Bistro Nobel cafeteria for 250 visitors. Here you can order a full meal or a cup of coffee with chocolate medallions.
To understand what the guide says, it is better to buy a Russian-speaking lingophone (audio guide). For children and their parents there is a special children's room where "Nobel hunting" is held - an interesting entertainment that allows the younger generation to realize the value of science.
