The Nobel Prize Museum receives 84 million to educate people

The money is donated by the Erling-Persson Foundation and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and will strengthen the museum's work to reach out wider.

The Nobel Prize Museum, formerly the Nobel Museum, was inaugurated in connection with the centenary of the Nobel Prize in 2001, and its activities have primarily been aimed at international tourists. But in recent years, more and more efforts have been made to increase interest in science, literature and peace issues among the general public in Sweden, with a special focus on children and teachers.

“Our projects will spread the message of the Nobel Prize that man can change the world for the better and convey knowledge and objectivity, but also stimulate creativity and creativity. We are very pleased that we can now further raise the level of ambition for our business, ”says Erika Lanner, CEO and Museum Manager, in a press release.

The support will be used during a five-year period, when you will be invited to research panels, arrange activities for teachers and produce several exhibitions on how science interacts with the culture in society.

New formats should also be developed for a younger target group. Among other things, there will be leisure clubs with teacher students in socio-economically vulnerable areas. They will also invite high school students to a project that brings together young people with representatives of the literary profession, and plans to further develop the digital lesson material "Nobel Prize Lesson".
