I found the museum to be less enjoyable than expected, but it wasn’t the museum's fault. The audio guide was excellent, providing detailed insights into Nobel's life, although my phone's battery drained quickly while using it. The exhibits featured numerous artifacts from across different scientific fields. However, the guide was a bit confusing regarding the numbering of some display cases, making it challenging to identify items due to their close proximity. This was my main source of frustration, as overall, the experience was quite good, albeit crowded.

It’s an amazing museum! Though small, it offers ample information about the Nobel Prizes. There are several short films covering influential figures from Nelson Mandela to the Red Cross, as well as others. The souvenir shop is also quite charming.

This museum is compelling for several reasons: it reveals the story of Alfred Nobel, his objectives, and his legacy. You can find various common and scientific objects that belonged to Nobel Prize winners, along with the intriguing stories behind them. Additionally, if you have a disability card, you can obtain a free ticket for your caregiver—just ask before purchasing your tickets.

Though it's not a large museum, they do offer a free English tour, which is a nice touch. However, there aren’t many captivating exhibits inside, just some items donated by Nobel Prize winners.
