Oslo-D1; 4 of 5 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE CENTER

Nobels Fressenter (Nobel Prize Center)- Takes you though the history and achievements of Alfred Nobel and the evolution of the awards over the last 105 years. You then can’t help but get inspired by the stories of all 139 award winners over the years. This year alone there were 338 nominees for the award. And how they have changed the world!!! When you leave, after reading all of these incredible bios of what laureates have done, you can’t help but wonder what you have spent your life doing while these people are saving the world (maybe it was just me).

There is also a focused exhibit regarding this years’ winner. Nihon Hidankyo whose organization of survivors of atomic bombing in 1945 does work for a world free of nuclear weapons. An exhibit, The Echo Chamber, shows you how to look at art from outside your normal world. Very interesting.

Another exhibit was about how laureates have used dialogue to change the world and how WE can change our daily conversations to help communications worldwide. We also got to take a test to determine which Peace Prize Laureate we most resemble – Karen was like Jimmy Carter (The Negotiator) and I was like Barack Obama (the Team Leader)! www.nobelppeacecenter.orgRead more
