I went here mainly because my husband wanted to, and i thought it would be very boring. I was wrong. I think I had a better time than he did! The temporary exhibit was closed, so they lowered the price on admission by half. The remaining exhibits were discussing the Nobel prize, who Albert Nobel was and how they determine... More

The Marie Curie-exibition was excellent, it ends 29/4-2012. This is Curie in her own words, her graddaughter´s words and female scientists` words. Her grief for her beloved Pierre, quoted from her own diaries. Even the notorius letters about the Langevin-affair is here. Svante Arrhenius begged her - in 1911, to stay in France and do not come to Stockholm for... More

Excellent use of electronic presentation to maximize the display of some relics from some real contributors. Too bad the prize is also tainted with political presentations in the last five years. More

My wife and I took a tour of the Nobel Museum and found it quite informative. The tour provided a great overview of how the Nobel Prize was first established and past winners. The museum is right in the heart of old Town and the tour takes about 45 minutes. We walked away with a much better understanding of what... More

Most of the exhibition space is devoted to Marie Curie so if you're a fan, you will love it . the place is set up with a weird flow to it and doesnt work. If you are choosing what to do with your valuable time in this city, PASS ON THIS ONE. More

Well, I didn't know that Nobel himself was from Sweden and the good thing about these places is that you get to enrich your knowledge about new things. More

In the center of Stockholm next to a historic place, the Nobel Museum is just beautiful! It's not a "strict" museum some of you may imagine. The placement of the exhibition is excellent even the lighting! And interactive activities for kids of all ages :D Don't miss it! More
