The last museum we planned to see was the Nobel Peace Center. The entire building is dedicated to the award granted each year for making peace in the world. Our compatriot – Lech Walesa – also received the award in 1983.
The main hall is dedicated to the current winners of the prize. The exhibition is apparently changed every year. The upper floor has several rooms and the main one is the hall with portraits of every winner. The museum conveys a lot of knowledge through multimedia. These portraits are not photos — they are LCD displays.
In the corridor, there was a multimedia presentation with the ability to navigate the timeline independently. Along with moving the slider to change the information on the board (picture, name, description).
There was a place with Nobel’s will, which was also multimedia. In a separate room was a large book, which had printed pages. Projector was illuminating the pages from the top and we could flip pages by touching the corner of the page (literally the screen).
We were surprised that the museum is so small. It ended so soon that we wondered if there is another floor of exhibition, but there wasn’t.
It is worth mentioning that children have their own tour, they can collect pictures which are part of an educational game. On the cards are placed date and symbols associated with the prize awarded. It is a pity that they reduced the cards to only a few recent years.
