Curiosity draws crowds to Slussen

On Sweden’s National Day, Slussen came alive as it was once again time for A day at Slussen. For several years now, Stockholmers have been invited to explore how the area is taking shape and to meet the many stakeholders contributing to its development.

The Nobel Prize Museum was present with a tent at Södermalmstorg, where curious visitors could learn more about Nobel Center – the future hub for science, literature and peace at Stadsgårdskajen.

Younger visitors had the opportunity to take part in crafts and create their own water flowers, while the museum shop’s pop-up attracted guests with books, gifts and souvenirs.

Many visitors stopped by with questions about Nobel Center. The conversations ranged from why the building looks the way it does to what kind of activities will bring it to life in the future.

Frequently asked questions

Where will Nobel Center be located?

Since we were at Södermalmstorg, it was easy to explain that Nobel Center will be located a short distance away, beyond what will become Katarina Park and in front of Glashuset.

When will construction begin?

Construction is expected to begin as early as the end of next year (2027).

When will it open to visitors?

If everything goes according to plan, we aim to open the doors in late 2031.

What will happen to the Nobel Prize Museum in Gamla Stan?

The Nobel Prize Museum will relocate to Nobel Center.

How is the project being funded?

The building and permanent exhibition are funded by Erling-Persson Foundation and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation together with the Nobel organisation. The two foundations donate a total of SEK 2.3 billion, evenly split.
