Alfred Nobel’s Last Will and Testament Goes On Display

Alfred Nobel’s last will and testament, which was integral in creating the renowned Nobel prizes, has gone on display for the first time in Stockholm. 

Until now, only a few people have seen the original 1895 document that has been safeguarded at the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm.  The Nobel Museum has decided to change that, putting the will on public display as part of its new exhibition “Legacy.”  “The exhibition draws attention to how important it is to pass things on.  The will is the centerpiece.  It is a simple document, but it still today provides the basis of our work with the [Nobel] prizes.”
