In his will, Alfred Nobel wrote that the prizes he was establishing should be awarded to those who had conferred the greatest benefit to humankind. Since 1901, this has been the guiding principle of the Nobel Prize. For the Nobel Prize Museum, it is important that the institutional partners that work with the Museum share the values that underlie such an ambition.<\/p>\n
“We want to reach out to schools all over Sweden and inspire young people to join in contributing to a better world in the spirit of the Nobel Prize. Our collaboration with NIBE is entirely consistent with this. We are very pleased with this partnership<\/em>,” says Erika Lanner, Director of the Nobel Prize Museum.<\/p>\n “For several decades, NIBE has worked very closely with the schools in the municipality of Markaryd, from first grade all the way through upper secondary school. Natural sciences and sustainability issues are genuinely close to our hearts at NIBE, so it feel very exciting to be able to initiate a long-term partnership with the Nobel Prize Museum focusing on these specific subject areas<\/em>,” says Gerteric Lindquist, CEO of NIBE Industrier, which has its head office in Markaryd but operates on several continents.<\/p>\n In 2018 the Nobel Prize Museum opened the Experiments<\/em>exhibition at NIBE’s premises in Markaryd. This exhibition has been visited by thousands of students from all over Kronoberg County and is a collaboration between the Nobel Prize Museum, NIBE, the Municipality of Markaryd and the regional educational project Towards New Heights<\/em>. The exhibition will remain on display in Markaryd until a new exhibition opens in 2020.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n About the Nobel Prize Museum<\/strong><\/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. By means of videos, in-depth guided tours and donated artefacts, we at the Nobel Prize Museum tell about the Laureates and their contributions for the greatest benefit to humankind. Based on the Nobel Prize\u2019s unique combination of fields \u2013 natural sciences, literature and peace \u2013 we examine the great issues of our time and show how we can respond to them with science, humanism and cooperation. Through our exhibitions, school programmes, lectures and dialogues, we at the Museum would like to generate public engagement for a better world. Today 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 <\/p>\n
