I went to this museum after going to the Stockholm City Hall (where the Nobel banquet is held). It had a few rooms which concentrated on Swedish chemist and inventor Alfred Nobel, himself. A few interesting exhibits and a tour. There were two films on various scientific and medical companies and agencies (this was kind of arbitrary). There is a... more

We thought this museum was going to be packed with nobel prize winning ideas, inspirational stories, cool inventions...We were so wrong. It has a very difficult configuration, the nobel winners are not highlighted in any way that you can search or learn about, and the movies are downright strange. We watched one movie about the Basel Immunology Center that was... more

Right on the historic Stortorget square in Gamla Stan, this is an interesting one floor small museum with loads of history--about Nobel, the awards, and the winners. There are numberous artifacts (original culture for penicillin), films, and displays. The docent tour of an hour was informative and excellent. This place may not be for everyone, but we found it very... more

I wanted very much top learn more about the winners of the Nobel prize during the years. Of course one can find out info on the internet, but it is nice to see them all in a museum. Nevertheless, the museum is disspointing. Not well organised, a few articles about the controversial or well know winners here and there, a... more

My partner liked this more than I, giving it a four star rating (but he can write his own review!). I thought the museum was really lacking, they could have done a lot more. Really, it is all about the films, and our tour guide even said so: "if you come to the Nobel Museum and don't watch the films,... more

My husband wanted to visit the Nobel museum and I was a little bit reluctant, thinking it would be boring. But I was very positively surprised by the creativeness of presenting the prize winners through films, and speeches/ conversations that you could listen to in headphones etc. The information was easy to grasp and when I walked out it felt... more

Small museum, but if you take the tour, you'll get more out of it. The tour explains the history of the awards and how Nobel created the wealth that funded the awards. This is not really a museum for kids, but if you do bring them, you can set them down in front of the free computers they have to... more

Nice little gem. Modern and very inspirational. Contains a nice section on the works of Einstein. “The mere formulation of a problem is often far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a angle requires creative imagination and marks real... more
