Tea cup and paper hat among artifacts given to Nobel Prize Museum   A tea cup and paper hat were among the artifacts donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by this year’s laureates as they gather in Stockholm ahead of the glitzy royal ceremony on Dec. 10, 2024. One of the traditional agenda points is to donate an artefact that has meant something special to them to the Nobel Prize Museum. The medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economic sciences prizes are awarded in Stockholm while the Nobel Peace Prize are awarded in Oslo.

00:00It's a personal interest, but it also has a connection to his research.

00:11Some of them have a much harder time figuring out what story they want to tell.

00:15But it's pretty good. And it's Mården Rudin who submitted it.

00:28I'm going to take some pictures.

00:32I hope not.

00:34Thank you very much.

01:08And the laureates get free hands, so they can tell any story they like through the objects they donate to us.

01:15So it's a beautiful tradition we have here at the museum.

01:39So this is the item we got donated from Han Kang, this year's Nobel Prize laureate in literature.

01:46And she donated this cup together with the notes.

01:49And this is the process of her writing for her latest book.

01:53And there were three steps.

01:55Number one was to wake up at 5.30 every morning.

01:58She did not always succeed.

02:00Number two was to always take a walk.

02:03And number three was to drink a cup of tea from this tea cup.

02:07And then afterwards she looked into the swirl of this cup and that became her universe while writing.

02:23But we have this beautiful paper crown from John Jumper.

02:26They were called the Origami Team before it became Alpha 2.

02:31And then they actually folded this crown in origami and passed it along through their team whenever someone did something great to encourage each other.

02:44So I think that's a really beautiful story too that we got in our collection this year.
