Work on the core exhibition has begun

Developing an exhibition is a complex and creative process that takes time. Work on the Nobel Center’s upcoming core exhibition is therefore already under way and is currently in an exploratory phase, in which a feasibility study is helping to shape the direction for the future.

A first glimpse into working with reclaimed brick

Recently, two of the project’s architects, Robert Westphal and Hubert Pawela from David Chipperfield Architects, visited a facility in southern Sweden that specializes in reclaiming brick for reuse.

The visit marked an initial step in the ongoing process of selecting materials for the building’s façade.

Nobel Atlas – A prototype is developed 

The Nobel Prize has since 1901 been awarded to more than a thousand prominent individuals and organisations. At the Nobel Center, their stories will be told in a new, spectacular and exciting way by means of various exhibitions.  

The work to develop an accessible and appealing introduction of the laureates has begun, and an initial prototype is already planned for next year to be tested on people visiting the existing museum in Gamla stan.

The model moves on 

We disassembled the exhibition about the Nobel Center project at the Nobel Prize Museum. The wooden model will be exhibited at ArkDes in the autumn.

We asked and you answered! 

People sometimes ask us what they will actually encounter at the Nobel Center. Which kinds of experiences await them? In the exhibition about the Nobel Center, we have during the spring taken the opportunity to ask questions to our visitors. We want to know more about who you are, what attracts you to the museum and what you hope to experience from a visit. More than 4,500 people have shared their thoughts.  

Among other things, the answers show that many people visit us to take part in exhibitions and learn something new. Our visitors are very interested in subjects such as medicine, space and human consciousness. Questions about artificial intelligence, creativity and the climate are also high on the list of things that spark your interest. These are valuable insights in our ongoing efforts to develop content that feels relevant, inspiring and important.  

Thank you for all your answers – we will continue to be curious about you and ask you questions.

Workshop for teachers 

What do you, as a teacher, think about this? We at the Nobel Prize Museum wanted to know more about this, which is why we invited teachers to a workshop. Together, we talked about which activities would make the Nobel Center valuable for them as teachers, for their students and for their schools. 

We also discussed how to create an environment that triggers curiosity and a desire to learn more. During these discussions, a lot of thoughts and ideas emerged about the teachers’ everyday work, the challenges they face and how the Nobel Center may become a meaningful place both for them and their students. We will bring all these contributions to our future work.

Breakfast series on the project 

A dozen or so breakfast meetings are organised in the spring. Here, representatives from the hospitality industry, academia, the cultural sector and the education sector participate in order to immerse themselves in the project and contribute with thoughts and ideas. 

Many issues are discussed. Where do you find reclaimed brick? How to reach out to the international audience? How many visitors are expected and what will be the opening hours?

The first renderings are presented  

The year began with the presentation of the very first renderings of the project. The Nobel Prize Museum invited the public to talk about the project. The Moderna Museet was also packed with people when a panel discussed the plans, while the audience had the opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts. 

David Chipperfield from the architectural firm David Chipperfield Architects participated in these activities together with, among others, Hanna Stjärne, Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation.
