The Centennial Exhibition of the Nobel Prize
Title of the Centennial Exhibition: "Cultures of Creativity: The Centennial Exhibition of the Nobel Prize"

Individual creativity will be discussed under a number of general themes, e.g. "Serendipity", "Metaphors", and "Iconoclasts". The discussions will focus on important milieus of the 20th century that have produced many Nobel Laureates.

Plans to build a permanent Nobel Museum in Stockholm have been discussed since the beginning of this century. In 1994 the Nobel Foundation approached the Swedish Government about the potential for the establishment of a Nobel Museum in Stockholm devoted to science and culture. A government commissioned report recommends building at Tegelbacken near the Stockholm Central Station. The Nobel Foundation favours another location at Blasieholmen behind the National Museum of Fine Arts.

The exhibition "Cultures of Creativity: The Centennial Exhibition of the Nobel Prize" will be on display at Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo from the first of August 2001 until the end of that year.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Government are discussing the possibility of a Nobel Peace Prize Museum in Oslo. A number of buildings have been considered.
