Can the Nobel Prize be awarded to someone who (claims to have) been abducted by aliens? What should one say about the author who declined a prize and the foreign minister who wanted to return his? Let’s take a closer look at the prizes that have sparked discussions and caused controversy over the years.
The Nobel Prizes have been criticised and questioned since the first prize was awarded in 1901. Carin Klaesson and Gustav Källstrand from the Nobel Prize Museum will guide us through discoveries that went awry, laureates who ended up off course and prizes that have made people angry.
Welcome to listen to the conversation in our bistro, which serves dishes from its specially composed Friday menu and offers cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic options. The bistro is open until 21:00. The ticket price also includes admission to the museum’s exhibitions, which are also open until 21:00.
