The hometown of the Nobel prize

Stockholm is the hometown of the Nobel Prize and several previous Nobel Laureates can be found among its inhabitants. Every year since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace.

The Nobel Prize is an international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. In 1968, the Sveriges Riksbank (the Swedish central bank) established the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. Each prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma, and a cash award. The Nobel Banquet, with all the Nobel Laureates and the Swedish royal family among its guests, is held in the Blue Hall of the Stockholm City Hall.
