Bistro Nobel

You could eat here without a museum ticket: just request the ticket attendants to let you in. The price of the main lunch course includes self-service soup and coffee/tea and is value-for-money. The pork belly and veal we ordered were very tender, but were a bit too heavily salted for our taste.

Nice chilling place to enjoy good beers and lovely cheap finger food! No need to buy an entry ticket for the museum, bistro Nobel has free access!

Nice place for a quick bite when you're visiting the Nobel Prize Museum. The menu is relatively small but the dishes are really good. Fast service. As the bistro is not entirely separated from the museum, you can still see some exhibits from there.

There were very few options. Vegan or vegetarian options could be added to the menu. The service was good, the bread tastes yumm here.

Being in this place and eating something feels very special. I tried some small sweet, it was tasty and atmosphere is very good.

Very delicious pancake and ice creams.

Pleasant polite people, all were in relax mood.

Fantastic lunch (could easily get a Michelin star) in a very economic package of soup-main-course-drink-coffee

When we visited Sweden, Gamla Stan was a must-see place. The Nobel Prize Museum is located there, and we had the chance to visit. Since we had limited time on our tour, we decided to stop by Café Nobel and try the Nobel ice cream! We ordered the Nobel ice cream and a Swedish beer. The Nobel ice cream is served at the Nobel Prize banquet and includes vanilla ice cream topped with raspberry sorbet and accompanied by a Nobel Prize chocolate. The taste was decent, and I enjoyed having the ice cream with the cotton candy garnish. I noticed that almost all the other customers ordered it as well! I was thrilled to try this iconic dessert--it's one of my best memories from visiting Sweden.

I did not enjoy this museum as much as I should've. But it isn't the museum's fault. Let me start with the audio guide. I thought it was great. It walked through all of Nobel's life and told you a lot about the museum. My only issue was my phone. Its battery was getting drained very quickly, so I'd keep that in mind if you want to use the audio guide. The rest of the museum was great. There were a ton of artifacts from all branches of science. The guide, however, was a little bit confusing regarding the numbering of some of the display cases. It was hard to determine which number referred to which object because there were so many all so close together. This served as my biggest source of anguish, as the rest of it was great. It was incredibly packed, so you had to maneuver with others to see some objects.

What can you say about a Museum that awards science, human rights and literature! You can say it is perfect and that is exactly what the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm is - a perfect recognition to those people across the world applauded for their contributions to society. I learned that awardees sign their names on the bottoms of chairs and that they are asked to bring something to contribute to the museum that reflects their contribution or their lives. You could spend hours and hours in this museum studying the contributions made since the awards were first made in 1901. A really fun way to spend sometime with folks way smarter and courageous than you!

The Nobel Prize Museum offers a concise curated collection of items that relate both to the prize and the laureates. There are guided tours in English as well as an audio guide, and the visit can be as short as needed to fit in with other sightseeing, since the footprint of the building is small and the location is near the main historic area (near the palace, parliament, shops, restaurants, etc.).

This museum was also high on the list to visit while in Stockholm. We went right at opening time and were lucky that there was an English tour pretty close to opening time. The tour was actually pretty short, about 20 minutes, and went over the main highlights of Nobel's life and the prize named after him. The museum itself was actually quite a bit smaller than I expected. We could get through the entire thing in less than an hour. But it was still very interesting and worth a stop.

What a great little museum this is! If you're excited by science, or even just intrigued by the prestigious Nobel prize, this museum is for you. Keep in mind, it's a rather small museum. Don't expect elaborate lavish exhibits halls. The key to this museum is to listen to the guided audio tour on your phone (it's free of charge, just don't forget to bring your earphones.) Key attractions: 1. Guided audio tour - a must. The tour highlights some of the more notable recipients of the prize, and tells their fascinating story. 2. Carousel of placards hanging from the ceiling, each placard containing a picture, name and discipline of a Nobel laureate. The carousel rotates very slowly. It's very impressive as it gives you a sense of scale of the Nobel endowment - to date there have been almost 1000 winners! 3. Desks exhibit - desks symbolizing the workspace of some of the notable laureate. 4. Room dedicated to Nobel himself. His life story is fascinating. 5. Gift shop - nice little shop with lots of cool merch for you geeks out there. 6. Cute cafe, where the chairs are signed by Nobel Laureates. The museum is situated at the heart of Gamla Stan, right next to picturesque Stortorget and steps away from the Royal Palace. After visiting the museum, you should meander down the old streets of Gamla Stan with their adorable stores and cafes. I loved this museum. Now I can't wait to watch "The Prize" with Paul Newman.

I always wanted to visit Nobel Prize Museum, so it was exciting for me to get there during my first Stockholm stay. The fact that it is Nobel week announcement, only added to the enjoyment. The museum is fairly small, and I took advantage of guided tour in English. There are some interactive exhibits too Worth visiting!

If you have any higher education (or even not!!), you likely know something about Nobel Prize winners and have read some of their work. The museum barely addresses the controversial figures who have won awards, including a former Nazi, and has not "revoked" any awards. The reasons behind the random assorted objects in the museum are poorly explained, with vague descriptions like "this was a dress a peace prize winner wore sometimes" or "these two winning economists used this Tide detergent while discussing poverty and econometrics in a laundromat." The exhibit felt random, disorganized, and lacked the necessary detail for a museum dedicated to such high-achieving individuals. Few prizes were explained in depth. You would be better off scrolling through Wikipedia. Save your $10.

Not sure what I expected, but this wasn't it. I wished to learn more about the laureates and their journeys. But most of this was "Here is the microscope this person used", "these are the outfits people wear to dinner", "this is an example of the meals provided at the dinner." If your time in Stockholm is limited, I would skip.

I unexpectedly really enjoyed my visit here. It was a smaller museum and I went because it was included with the Stockholm card and nearby while I was waiting for a canal tour. I found it quite interesting and informative, albeit small. The thing that truly made this experiences was the included/complimentary guided tour; I had some time to explore a bit on my own and then complimented that with the guided four (~30 min) after.

I was surprised by the Nobel prize museum. The thing is that people think this is for the elder league but believe me it's more than this. To visit everything in this place you may have 3 to 4 hours in front of you. Every nobel prize is a masterpiece.

When you're in Stockholm, not very many people talk about this amazing educational and eye opening place. I just happened to be in the area to find out about this museum and just walked in. As the name suggests, this place is dedicated to educating and showing the works of those extraordinary humans who were nominated and awarded the Nobel Prize since the founder, Swedish inventor and philanthropist Alfred Nobel started this journey. In this museum you will see the achievements of over 700 extraordinary and brilliant people in the world who have touched and inspired so many and their contributions. Very inspiring and organized place and definitely worth visiting. Give yourself about 2 hours to spend in there. There are tour guide and they also host educational programs there. There's a little cafe in there that you can have quick food as well.

Well I can't believe I have not reviewed this locale yet but when I visited back in September 2016 I was glad I did. While it is not a big museum by any stretch of the imagination it is a must see if your visiting Stockholm. Now here is a little trick to get the see the museum for free (or at the very least some of it.....LOL).....go in and let the person know at the front desk that you just want to visit the museum store. The attendant will give you something that looks like a patch, sticker, pager.....I can't exactly remember.....but it just keeps track of you I believe while your in the museum. So as your making your way to the Gift Shop (which is awesome by the way) you can see some of the exhibits right there on-site and even take pictures. I really enjoyed seeing some of the exhibits and for the fact that it was free.....well that says it all. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!!!!

When Bob Dylan became the surprise recipient of the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature, it reminded me that Jamie W. and I went to the Nobel Museum when we were in Stockholm earlier this year. As most first-time visitors do, we were just strolling casually in Gamla stan and came upon it quite by accident on the north side of Stortorget Square. The Nobel Prize was the brainchild of philanthropist inventor Alfred Nobel who decided to change his will to build a foundation that would give out awards in five categories that he saw fit - physics, chemistry, physiology and medicine, literature, and peace. On the centenary of the award in 2001, this compact museum was opened. Above your head you will see photos of every winner going through a suspended conveyor wire in order to allow each to be highlighted when they drop down to eye level (photo: http://bit.ly/2exTCii). The exhibits allow visitors to understand how the winner of each award category is selected and also the reactions to the recipients both good and bad. We were able to view all the Nobel laureates from 1901 until 2015 and understand how some of their work brought humanity forward. My favorite section was Sketches of Science, where 42 Nobel Laureates are photographed with their own sketch of their Nobel discovery. There's a small bistro inside where they actually serve Nobel ice cream (I didn't try it), and of course, an expansive souvenir store where you can get anything from leather bookmarks to chocolate replicas of the prize itself. It's not surprising that there are plans to move the museum to a bigger space away from the tight quarters in Gamla stan, but the question becomes when. The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind...

My fingernails were buried in the door jamb and they almost had to pull me out. I did not want to leave. The tour guide was a medical students and he was so rich in his discussion and answered longstanding questions that had accumulated in my mind for decades. By way of example, I asked if they had the ever considered recalling the Nobel Prize--for instance, the person who invented the lobotomy procedure or the person who invented a ways to mass produce ammonia that happened to be used for gas chambers. The guide said, there is and was never anything in the by laws about taking awards back.....never. He went over the history of the Nobel, and how the categories came to be and some controversies. Did you know that Marie Curie won it twice for physic and chemistry and her daughter won one too? I asked if a commoner like me could nominate someone-- I was going to nominate the founder of Make-A-Wish--and they told me no. The museum had tons of kiosks and you could go back all the way to the start and go through the winners, obtain historical context, and dive into the folks works. I focused on the natural sciences and medicine, but went to to the literature exhibits too since I fancy myself a writing enthusiast. They had a small coffee shop, but i was entranced and laser-focused on the learning and didn't want to spend a fraction of a second on food and beverage, taking away from then history opportunity. Now the museum in small in size but HUGE in what it covered and the opportunity to learn. If you are on the people who likes to learn and get the most out of it-- leave yourself 4-6 hours. If your one of those folks who saunters about museums, yawns and offers glassy-eyed gazes and vacant stares to the placards and monitors, and is pining for a visit to the gift/coffee shop from the second you walk in-- do everyone a favor and just don't come, the place is small and need not be cluttered by cultural fugazi.

When I went to the Nobel Museum I really had some high hopes of learning more about Alfred Nobel, his enduring legacy and of the Nobel laureates, people whose dedication and intellectual contributions I have always admire; even envied. However, such was really not to be had. The museum is rather scant, having very few, actually hardly any artifacts at all. It's really rather small and I personally found the explanations concerning the prize winners to be rather boring. The place is generally cluttered with nothing but video type pictures of the laureates with some of them speaking about things that had nothing to do with the how they were chosen or the impact of their intellectual contributions. The museum has a gift shop which doesn't amount to much and a small café. The café, fortunately, has some very good Swedish coffee along with dessert offerings. I kept think I must have missed something about the place, especially since it seems to be able to maintain a Four Stars Yelp rating, but I spent some time in it and don't think that I overlooked anything. As far as museums go, I found it rather boring, lack luster and, other than the desserts at the café, a general waste of time, not amounting to much.

Hmm, sad that this was a waste of $10. I did learn a couple of new things, but I can't believe this place is so well-rated on Yelp AND TripAdvisor. The biggest part of the museum is the literature section and most tourists aren't going to spend a couple of hours reading poems, novels. There's so much more they could've done with this space. The lady at the ticket booth said it would take us about an hour to get through the museum; it look us less than 30 minutes. If you buy a museum ticket, you get 10% off at the cafe!

Loved it! Price very reasonable and our son, under 18 was free! Take the free tour with guide. Very informative and will make your trip there much more productive.

I enjoyed this museum even though I was only able to stay a short period. The person who gave the tour was excitable and knowledge. I enjoyed listening to her since she was fun and had energy. I thought the tradition of trying to get signatures of the winners on their chairs was a cool tradition. I was happy to be told where President Barack Obamas and was able to snag a few pictures with it.

It was a super fun visit checking out this Museum! Didn't even know there was a museum for the Nobel Prize. Definitely worth checking out this once!

Where else can you see ABBA and Nobel all in 1 location? Stockholm! Mr & I made a point to come visit the Nobel Museum during our vacation & it did not disappoint Smallish museum but packed with a ton of info There is an audio guide available on your own phone, through their free wifi. We found it very informative but not really an audio tour but more like factual around the various Nobel Prize topics Chairs in their cafe section have signatures from all the prize-winning Nobel recipients on the underside - very cool! There is a dry-cleaning-kind of conveyor system that takes each sheet of details from each winner and tours it around the ceiling There are buttons to press at various stations to learn more about the history of that showcased winner or area of research. They also had live people demonstrating things like how red blood cells travel through the body - all using stuffed animals. Very cute & informative! Nice way to spend an afternoon wandering in awe of the amazing feats & achievements from those who have dedicated themselves towards the betterment of the world

Learning about Alfred Nobel's reasoning for starting and funding the eponymous prize is quite an interesting tale. Basically, he built his fortune with the creation of tnt, or dynamite and wanted to be remembered for more than just that fact (there's more to it than that but you can go see for yourself or Wikipedia it). When we visited there was a small special exhibit about MLK, very nice. There are regular exhibits about the different prizes and past winners. Some things with the awarding of the prize take place in Norway, too. Above the Nobel Museum you'll see the Swedish Academy. A walking tour guide we had mentioned that the academy publishes dictionaries and monitors the language, a bit like l'academie francaise does for France. So, that's fun.

Recommend tagging along with the tour to get a little background on the Nobel museum. Because if you don't, it's actually a real bore. They have videos of random Nobel recipients and some computer interactive machines to look up past winners. But other than that you can spend your time wisely elsewhere.

If you are here, unless you are a science nerd, then you must do the tour here, it is free with admission (which is about 120SEK), and it starts at 11:15, 1:15, 2:15, 3:15, about 30 mins. It is very informative. Really enjoyed it.

My boyfriend is a huge science geek so this museum was a definite for him. The museum itself is structured very cool and go at your own pace. You have screens where you can go from year to year and read off a lot of information. The down side was that some of the screens were not as responsive as others and some things didn't work but we tried to make the best out of it. We were lucky enough to go on one of the guided tours of the museum, which was definitely the highlight for me because you learned about the process more so as reading off of the screens which was just learning about the laureates. The Asian male tour guide was exquisite but he had a big group and he could have probably used a microphone. That would have helped us understand him more. As you go from section to section of the place we tried to run to be as close as we could to him lol. But he definitely taught us a lot of great things! Most notably that one of the desserts they serve at the banquet is sold at the cafe. I wish we could have tried it, but maybe next time! I would say I did learn a lot here, but it might not have been my favorite museum. It's in a very good location so it's not out of the way if you are staying nearby Stockholm.

I'd been advised by a couple of friends that I really should pay the Nobel Museum a visit during my stay in Stockholm, so I happily made some time for it on my last full day in the city. I had noted that there is no entrance fee on Tuesdays from 5pm to 8pm, so I timed my arrival to take advantage of that offer, although I managed to beat my own ETA and lingered in the foyer waiting for the clock hand to sweep to 5. I wasn't alone in this cheeky budgetary approach - there were at least a dozen of us loitering with intent, so we were all pleasantly surprised when the reception staff declared that we could all make our way in, well before the hour struck, Another nice Swedish touch, having been let in early out of the rain at the Vasa Museum. Once inside, the museum revealed itself to be rather reliant on AV displays, with computer screens set out in time periods which allowed you to search for the winners in each category via interactive menus. Above our heads, a carousel of prize winners passed by in pictorial form too. From my wanderings, there were a few rooms that told the story of Alfred Nobel and his journey from industrialist to philanthropy, but it was quite a limited display overall. There didn't seem to be a great deal else beyond that to hold the attention. It was worthy of a 30-45 minute visit, but no more than that.

A museum dedicated to the legacy of Mr Alfred Nobel, considered the inventor of dynamite, because all the others could not be positively identified. As far the literature prize goes, Sweden has been awarded more times than all of Asia. Hmm, I think someone is a bit biased.

I thought the Nobel Museum was just okay. We were walking in the area and decided to stop in since it was included on our Stockholm Pass. The museum is fairly small with a few smaller areas in a large room. There are small exhibits on different Nobel-laureates and explanations of the awards process. There is an audio guide, but I found it to be extremely detailed. I would recommend the museum if you are very interested in Nobel prizes, but otherwise I think the other sites in Stockholm are much more interesting.

Has to be my favorite museum in the city... and that's saying something considering just how many museums there are. It's not a large museum, but I still managed to spend 3 hours in there looking at everything, watching the videos in the two galleries, etc. The cafe was pretty good, and when you flip the chairs over, you see that they are all signed underneath by past prize winners. So... you're sitting in the cafe enjoying some food and people come in and start flipping chairs and snapping pictures. Interesting. Has a little gift shop also, where you can by books written by, for, and about past prize winners.

It's been over a year since I've visited and I still think fondly of my visit to this museum. While it looked small on the outside, it was quite fun wandering through the massive amounts of information and viewing personal items belonging to the prize winners. I recommend waiting for one of the group tours, as the information on Alfred Nobel and the different categories were very fascinating. I happened to be there during the time in which the literature prize was halted due to a scandal, which in itself was interesting to learn about as well. During my visit they had an exhibit dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr., and upon seeing the personal letters of correspondence regarding him being notified of being winner of the prize, along with photos of his accomplishments, I couldn't help but get a bit emotional. I loved learning about the brilliant minds of the Nobel Prize winners! This was such an inspiring visit, and the gift shop had the comfiest and cutest t shirts ever!

A nice museum with a great tour in English. Has a lot of info about all the laureates on the information screens, but mostly it is about Alfred Nobel himself. There are a lot of items on display that belonged to him too. There is even a room for children with various activities. The museum is quite small, since on the second floor of the building is the academy which decides who gets the literature prize every year.

If you are in Stockholm you definitely need to go to the Nobel museum - ok, as if there are not enough museums in stockholm, but the Nobel museum is very interesting and educational, especially about Albert Nobel and Marie Curie. Price: Adults pay SEK 80 Students pay SEK 60 Opening Hours: May 15-September 15 2012 Every day 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Definitely check out the museum shop,too! I bought several postcards portraying a Nobel laureate. Its a nice idea to send a postcard from stockholm.

For a compact building it has a decent amount to offer. Two theaters, a small permanent exhibits, a kids area, the history of Alfred Nobel, and a large temporary exhibition zone. Times visited: 1

Two words worth mentioning: - The museum isn't very large so you can visit it fairly quickly. - I loved the Bistro Nobel, the museum's tiny cafe. You can get anything from delicate treats, coffee, tea, or an actual lunch meal. I tried a chocolate ball, and OMG, I had never tasted anything so divine! it was definitely Nobel Prize worthy. Overall this cafe made for a pleasant visit to sit down, relax, and take a load off my feet. And OMG I'm still dreaming of that chocolate ball to this day.... PS: As a fun assignment, try to find a display of Alfred Nobel's dynamite in the museum. It was a little tricky for me to find, but it's there. Some of you may not be aware but Alfred Nobel made his fortune as the inventor of dynamite. KA-BOOM!

While visiting Sweden, I wanted to make a visit to the Nobel Museum. I had the one day Stockholm visitor pass, so I wanted to make the best use of my pass. I came in on a Thursday afternoon and the place was quite crowded. I decided to go on the guided tour and it was well worth it! If you visit the museum, I would recommend going on the guided tour. The tour is about 30 minutes and the guide illustrates the main highlights of the museum. The tour guide was very informative. The museum was small but it was a beautiful museum. It was interesting to learn about the history of the Nobel peace prize from the tour guide.

I was excited to visit the Nobel Museum, but disappointed in the actual experience. I felt like the museum was fairly light on content, especially given that the Nobel Prize has been administered for over 100 years and been awarded to so many people with deep, fascinating bodies of work. I enjoyed the scrolling posters of Nobel winners and the section of the museum with winners' artifacts, but most of the content was in the form of videos that could just as easily have been watched online. In general, I like going to museums to see items that can't be seen anywhere else, and for the most part, the Nobel Museum did not meet this standard. I wish there had been more artifacts and more detail on the work done by Nobel winners. They do have a really nice kids' area. I imagine it would be a great thing to find if you were visiting with your young children.

When in Stockholm don't miss this museum where you could see all the candidates, recipients, inventions, banquets. It has an excellent cafeteria and cloak room. All signage in both languages. Perfect English spoken everywhere.

We didn't know exactly what to expect when coming here, but we really enjoyed it! This museum gives a background to the beginning of the Nobel prize and the life of Alfred Nobel. They also have artifacts from various winners and an interactive book display from prize winning authors. My favorite part was the theatre where they showed short 5-10 minute clips about each Nobel prize winner. In each clip they interviewed the person, explained why they won the Nobel prize, or showed their work. We kept saying, "Just one more, just one more." It was very interesting. We watched about 5 or 6, but could've watched more.

As someone who is interested in science (my major in university was microbiology and immunology), I found the Nobel Museum quite interesting. In addition to the various exhibits, there are touch screens in the center of the museum with information on each Nobel laureate. (Unlike the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, you could control the information on the screen.) There was one touch screen per decade, and you could select which topic you wanted to read about (chemistry, physics, medicine, literature, peace, and economics), and then once you have selected the subject, you can read about each Nobel laureate of that subject throughout that decade. This was the exhibit my sister and I spent the most time at, as we were quite interested in reading about the Nobel laureates. However, since there was so much to read and it is just not possible to read about every single Nobel laureate in every subject, we picked and chose the topics we were most interested in (the sciences). For the most part the information was fairly informative, although as people with knowledge and understanding of science, it was frustrating when we would read, for example, "So-and-so won the Nobel prize in chemistry for the discovery of an enzyme that does XYZ" and they wouldn't list the enzyme. I guess it's because most people wouldn't care or understand, but would it really that difficult to list the specific thing that was discovered? However, overall I really enjoyed reading about the Nobel laureates on the touch screens. The one major flaw is that the touch screens were too close together, so if someone was looking at a nearby screen, it was rather uncomfortable, and there really wasn't room for people to look at two nearby screens. Also, since there was a lot of information contained within one touch screen, if you wanted to spend a significant amount of time reading the information, like me and my sister, then that prevented others from taking a look. (Fortunately it wasn't particularly busy when we were there, and we noticed that most people who looked at the touch screen only stayed there for a couple of minutes, so we did not appear to be preventing others from taking a look.) Great exhibit, but having more touch screens (perhaps two per decade?) and more space between them would definitely improve the experience. I recommend this museum if you enjoy science or are interested in learning about the Nobel laureates.

Nicely curated museum. Here comes the spontaneous travel findings: Look underneath the chairs in the Cafe of the Museum, you will find signatures of past winners!

Lovely place with reasonable food. It's very cozy to have a short break here after visiting the museum.

Good small museum. The tour guide needs to be louder bc there are just too many people

This was a waste of money. At the exchange rates of the time, it was $15/person. For that much, I expected to get to see quite a lot. Instead, there were videos/notes about several science (physics, chemistry, and medicine) awards. If you are a science nerd, you know all this stuff already and you won't gain anything by coming here. If you aren't a science nerd, you probably don't care about the experiments a whole lot. I expected more about prizes other than science. There are kiosks where you can learn a very small amount (maybe a paragraph) about most of the awards ever given, but some years have no information other than the name and picture of the winner--not even a description of why the person won. Something that would let me read a little bit of the writing of the literature winners, or learn more about the peace or economics prize winners would have been really interesting. There are two small theaters. Some of the films are kinda interesting, but some are awful. Copenhagen is super trippy, disrespectfully uses images/video of historical physicists, and doesn't represent the physics of Neils Bohr very well. So, I recommend that you skip this museum. Go to the Vasa museum and just spend twice as much time there.

Make sure you have at least 2 hours to tour the Nobel Museum properly. I did the English tour with a guide and it was 100% worthwhile. If you're in Stockholm, specifically around Gamla Stan, you have to stop by and learn about the History of the Nobel prizes and Alfred Nobel. The tour guide we had was so engaging, and I think that is what made the experience so memorable. The front of the museum has pillars to represent each of the nobel prizes, and there's a good story about the 6th pillar representing a prize in economics that was added later. If you go to the right there's an interesting exhibit that shows the timeline of Alfred Nobel's life and also a map of his many businesses around the world that he had. The back of the museum has story upon story about both struggle and peace around the world, it's truly inspiring.

The Nobel ice cream was served at the Nobel Prize Banquets until 1998. And now it is exclusive for the Nobel Museum.

Small museum but really worth visiting. Go to the English tour at 11:15am. In the winter, there's a line up to enter the museum already at 11am. Be sure not to miss it. And, don't miss the ice cream! It really was a good ice cream.

My husband and I came here for free on a Tuesday afternoon at 5pm where there was a small line waiting for the doors to open. It was a bit crowded because it was free but that's to be expected. I really like the items in the exhibitions and stories about the Nobel prize winners. The museum offered an informative free tour that took about half an hour. It is a smaller museum but definitely worth a visit especially if you go during the free times. The Bisto Nobel is a nice little cafe. I looked under many chairs to see which Nobel prize winners had signed them. We sat under the hanging chair the Dalai Lama signed, had a coffee and shared a delightfully fancy Nobel ice cream.

Please take the guided tour: it was awesome. The museum itself is not that huge but wow does it pack in loads of information What I like most about the tour was it provided you with a terrific overview about A. Nobel and the prize itself and some of the history behind it all. This gave me some great insight that I simply would not have gotten by just reading the information provided in the displays The cableway is in innovative way of displaying all Laureates with a portrait and prize citation There is a nice display about the prize ceremony and the banquet There is a small auditorium running short films about a handful of Nobel Laureates across all fields which is interesting to find out how they saw the project/research unfold as it happened. There is a kids section with a theme of creativity and and great display with sketches made by various prize winners about their work Honestly I could have spent many more hours in there and the gift shop is packed with books from previous literature prize winners an educational science Bunga for kids, plus chocolate Nobel medals

I can't compare this museum to other Nobel Prize exhibitions because this is the only one I've visited. It was smaller than I imagined, but there's so much information. It's fascinating and definitely worth visiting. It could be better though. I wish it was more engaging; it's not too much of an interactive museum. 90% of my time was spent reading, 5% participating in the limited interactive sections and 5% watching the featured presentation. If I was more interested in Alfred Nobel, then I probably would have been fine just reading.
