Reception at Stockholm City Hall, June 27
The reception will take place by courtesy of the city of Stockholm and the County Council at Stockholm City Hall, the venue for the Nobel Prize dinner. A buffet dinner will be served followed by a guided tour of the building.
Stockholm's City Hall was built 1911-1923 to the design of architect Ragnar Östberg. It is one of Sweden's foremost buildings in the National Romantic style. Behind the imposing facades, built with 8 million bricks are found offices, meeting rooms and
banqueting halls. Inspired by the palaces of the Renaissance, Ragnar Östberg had the City Hall built around two squares or "piazzas", Borgargården and the Blue Hall.
If you wish to attend the dinner, please do not forget to mark it on the on-line form when you register for the conference.

Vasa Museum, June 27
The Vasa Museum is Scandinavia's most visited museum, located in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. The Museum was inaugurated in 1990. In the large shiphall stands the warship Vasa - the only remaining, intact 17th century ship in the world. The lower rig has
been rebuilt, complete with masts, stays and shrouds. Just like the Vasa would have looked like when set for winter in harbour. The wreck, salvaged in 1961, is now once again a complete ship. Surrounding the ship are several permanent exhibitions, cinemas, a
shop and a restaurant.
