\u201cWe are the museum of the Nobel Laureates and view it as our task to inspire and engage people with the stories of the Laureates\u2019 lives, discoveries and works. With our new name, the Nobel Prize Museum, we want to emphasise our connection with the core of the Nobel Prize and highlight the courage, creativity and perseverance of the Nobel Laureates,\u201d says Erika Lanner.<\/p>\n
She believes there is a longing for knowledge and in-depth understanding in our society.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to be part of a discussion about science and learn more about how our lives are affected by new research findings. They want to be inspired by people who have made a difference through their work towards peace or artistic creations. Ideas can change the world. This becomes clear when we learn how the Nobel Laureates \u2013 who number more than 900 since 1901 \u2013 have asked questions, sought answers and overturned old truths,\u201d Erika Lanner says.<\/p>\n
One important focus in 2019 will be to reach out even better to Stockholm residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Nobel Prize has an outstanding international reputation. All over the world, the prize is associated with fresh thinking, innovation and creativity. It draws a large number of international visitors to our Museum every year,\u201d says Erika Lanner.<\/p>\n
Through growing range of programme activities, expanded contacts with schools and new institutional partnerships, the Nobel Prize Museum will become even more relevant to its nearby audience in the Stockholm area. For example, the Museum will continue its development of events during the week in October when the year\u2019s Nobel Prizes are announced and the general public is invited to honour and understand them.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast autumn we had more than 40 such activities all over the city \u2013 a celebration of knowledge and humanism that I hope will become as well-established in the minds of Stockholm residents as the Nobel Week in December,\u201d says Erik Lanner.<\/p>\n
Erika Lanner has a background as a lawyer and has worked for thirteen years as a member of the Nobel sphere\u2019s management team. She succeeds Olov Amelin, who is becoming Director of the Jamtli Museum in \u00d6stersund, Sweden and J\u00e4mtland County Custodian of Antiquities.<\/p>\n
<\/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. Videos, in-depth guided tours and artefacts tell about the Laureates\u00a0and their contributions for the greatest benefit to humankind. Based on the\u00a0Nobel Prize\u2019s unique combination of fields \u2013 natural sciences, literature and peace \u2013 we\u00a0examine the great issues of our time and show how we can respond to them with science, humanism and cooperation. Through our exhibitions, schools programmes, lectures and dialogues, the Nobel Prize Museum would like to stimulate engagement for a better world.\u00a0Today we are located on Stortorget, the main square in Stockholm\u2019s Old Town. In the future we will be creating a new home for the Nobel Prize in the heart of the Swedish capital.<\/p>\n
