Alfred Nobel - The Man Behind the Nobel Prize

•Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men

and women from all corners of the globe for

outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry,

medicine, literature, and for work in peace. The

foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when

Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his

wealth to the establishment of the Nobel

Prize..

The medal of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute represents the Genius of Medicine holding an

open book in her lap, collecting the water pouring out from a rock in order to quench a sick girl's thirst.
