Stolen by this coveted item: The Nobel Museum's chocolate gold medal replica -

Learn the intriguing story behind the Nobel Museum's famous souvenir – a gold medal replica made from dark fair trade chocolate.

Once known as Nobelpris Museet, the Nobel Museum in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, is a unique tribute to Alfred Nobel, the man behind the Nobel Prize. The museum displays information about the Nobel Prize, Nobel laureates, and Alfred Nobel. The museum's permanent exhibition includes artifacts donated by Nobel Laureates, presented alongside personal life stories. In the museum's shop, however, it's the gold medal replica, made from dark fair trade chocolate and Swedish ingredients, that steals the show. This sweet treat is a symbolic representation of the museum's mission to inspire and educate, much like the original Nobel Prize. Other items available in the shop include educational toys for children, books by and about Nobel Prize laureates, and unique items only found in the Nobel Museum shop. Visit the museum and take home a piece of history never to be forgotten.
