On Wednesday, June 23, the City of Stockholm approved continued support for the event in 2021, with an option for an additional two years. The City\u2019s financial contribution would total SEK 15 million over the three-year period.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobel Week Lights was highly acclaimed and well-publicised last year. It was wonderful to see so many iconic Stockholm buildings in a new light. This is an open-air event with our urban environment as the arena. It is a welcome addition during low season for the hospitality industry and the darkest period of the year. These light installations have real potential to develop into a recurring festival \u2212 with a clear connection to Stockholm and to the creativity and innovative power that exist here,\u201d says Anna K\u00f6nig Jerlmyr, Mayor of Stockholm.<\/p>\n

Nobel Week Lights Stockholm is initiated and produced by Annika Levin, Alexandra Manson, Lara Szabo Greisman and Troika AB. The festival is part of the Nobel Week programme and is implemented in collaboration with the Nobel Prize Museum, with support from the City of Stockholm as well as several other partners and lighting companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe festival was a welcome new feature of the Nobel Week. It was fun to see that the light installations had been inspired by the Nobel Prize in so many creative ways. A lot of our work at the museum is about breathing life into the stories of the Nobel Prize laureates and their achievements, and this was a festival that really touched many people and delighted the residents of Stockholm,\u201d says Erika Lanner, Director of the Nobel Prize Museum.<\/p>\n

The task of organising this year\u2019s Nobel Week Lights festival is already under way, including discussions among the partner organisations, artists, lighting designers, universities and colleges.<\/p>\n

\u201dSince last year, we have pursued a dialogue with artists and lighting designers, gathering proposals for light installations inspired by the Nobel Prize. It is fantastic that we can implement Nobel Week Lights again this year in collaboration with the City of Stockholm and the Nobel Prize Museum,\u201d says Lara Szabo Greisman, one of the festival\u2019s initiators.<\/p>\n

According to plans, this year\u2019s event will run from 4 \u2013 13 December during the 2021 Nobel Week.<\/p>\n

The City of Stockholm\u2019s estimates that more than 200,000 people visited last year\u2019s Nobel Week Lights festival. More than a million people were reached by information about the light installations via the Nobel Prize Museum\u2019s social media sites.<\/p>\n

Nobel Prize Museum<\/p>\n

The Nobel Prize shows that ideas can change the world. The courage, creativity and perseverance of the Nobel Laureates inspire us and give us hope for the future. Films, in-depth tours, and artefacts tell the stories of the Laureates and their contributions \u2018for the greatest benefit to humankind\u2019. Based on the Nobel Prize\u2019s unique combination of fields \u2013 natural sciences, literature and peace \u2013 we examine the greatest challenges of our time and show how we can respond to them through science, humanism and collaboration. With our exhibitions, school programmes, lectures and conversations, we at the Nobel Prize Museum strive to engage the public in making a better world. Today we are located at Stortorget in Gamla Stan, Stockholm\u2019s Old Town district. We are planning to create a new home for our public outreach activities at Slussen in downtown Stockholm.<\/p>\n
