The Nobel Center boasts an exceptional location on Aker Brygge, facing the fjord on City Hall Square. The façade of this handsome building features the portrait of the current year's laureate(s). It presents the history of the Nobel Prize, its creator, Alfred Nobel, as well as current events and the winners of the title since 1901!

Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, industrialist and arms manufacturer, who held over 350 scientific patents during his lifetime, including that for dynamite, the invention that made his name. On his death, he left a colossal inheritance to finance the creation of an institution responsible for awarding prizes each year to people who had rendered great services to humanity, enabling considerable improvement or progress in the field of knowledge and culture in five different disciplines: peace or diplomacy, literature, chemistry, physiology or medicine and physics. The Nobel Prize for Economics was later introduced. The first award ceremony took place in 1901.

The Nobel Peace Prize was appointed by the Norwegian Parliament, at Alfred Nobel's request, unlike the other prizes, which were selected by the Swedish Academic Institution. In 1901, Sweden and Norway were under the same crown. When the two crowns separated in 1905, Norway inherited the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded annually on December 10 in Oslo (the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death).

Musée très intéressant avec la possibilité de suivre la visite à son rythme depuis son smartphone. Interactif, il offre une bel vision du thème.

Un musée qui n'a pas un intérêt exceptionnel. L'organisation n 'en est pas très attrayante. Nous y sommes passés...mais pas restés... a visiter si vous n'avez vraiment rien a faire à oslo

Vu de nuit mais très beau bâtiment. Une architecture très impressionnante !
En été, des cinémas de plein air et des évènements se déroulent sur la place juste devant.
