The Nobel Prize is about ideas that change things. It can be scientific discoveries or inventions, unexpected perspectives in literature, or struggles for peace and human rights – the common denominator is finding new ways to view the world.

In Nobel Creations, we have asked students from Beckmans College of DesignStockholm School of Photography, and the Royal College of Music (KMH) to embody these ideas, with the 2017 Nobel Prizes as a starting point.

Nobel Creations explores what unites Nobel Laureates all across fields: creativity. It deals with the courage to think differently, the questioning of norms and the combination of ideas from different fields to create something where the whole is bigger than the parts.

Nobel Creations is a great example of an Art & Science project, where art and sciences explores and enhances each other.

Mikael Cronwall, Head of Education, Stockholm School of Photography


Nobel Creations has three artistic parts: photography, music and fashion. Fashion creations and music were shown in a joint exhibition in collaboration with Beckmans College of Design and the Royal College of Music. The photo exhibition was previously shown at Concert Hall 1 – 20 December 2017, in Skrapan Mall 1 December 2017 – 7 January 2018, and in Skärholmen 15 January – 15 February 2018. The fashion creations and the music were shown jointly in the foyer of the Royal College of Music 7 – 14 December 2017.
