The Nobel Foundation: A Century of Growth and Change
On June 29, 2000, the Nobel Foundation celebrates its 100th anniversary. The Foundation and especially the Nobel Prizes - which were first awarded in 1901 - are closely linked to the history of modern science, the arts, and political development throughout the 20th century.

On this late Swedish winter afternoon, 1,700 people have just served as extras during a glittering, dignified ceremony inside the Stockholm Concert Hall. This is where the Nobel Prizes have been presented to their winners on December 10 since the late 1920s.

Plans for a Nobel Building have been discussed since the Nobel Foundation was founded in 1901. The aim was not only to honour the donor Alfred Nobel but also to find a dignified setting for the Prize Awarding Ceremony as well as an office for the Nobel Foundation.
