We are confident that the hosting will help raise awareness about the Nobel Museum and its objectives to spread knowledge as well as to create interest and discussion around the natural sciences and culture through creative learning," said Olov Amelin, Director of Nobel Museum.

The exhibition is part of Nobel Museum's international activities, started by the Nobel Foundation in 2001.
