It’s time for this year’s Culture Night at the Nobel Prize Museum! On 18 April, we’re open until midnight and invite you to an inspiring evening where we explore ideas that have changed the world.
Listen to a talk with psychologist Björn Hedensjö about our ability to keep going despite setbacks. Build a roller coaster, join a guided tour and challenge someone to a game of chess.
During the evening DJ ZLMN (Markus Salman), and Nassim Mehran will play and the Bistro serves small dishes, drinks, and late‑night hot dogs.
Talk between psychologist Björn Hedensjö and Carin Klaesson
The museum is visited by psychologist and lecturer Björn Hedensjö who, in a conversation with Nobel Prize Museum’s Carin Klaesson, dives deep into humanity’s remarkable ability to keep working, believing, and hoping – despite setbacks.
Guided tours about hope
Join a guided tour and be inspired by stories about the Nobel Prize laureates’ groundbreaking discoveries and life’s work.
Every half hour, 15‑minute tours are offered with selected highlights from the exhibition These Things Changed the World. The tour is given in both Swedish and English.
Music
During the evening, two Stockholm‑based house DJs will be playing in Bistro Nobel. First up is ZLMN (Markus Salman), who sets the tone with melodic house. After that, Nassim Mehran takes over and closes the night with vibrant house.
