If you cannot drink with a Nobel laureate, drink on a chair signed by one!
Not many visitors of Bistro Nobel in the Nobel Prize Museum realise what they are sitting on. Surprise: the chairs in Bistro Nobel conceal the autographs of Nobel laureates on their undersides, only visible if one flips them over or crawls beneath.
The tradition of having laureates sign the undersides of chairs dates many years back. Often, laureates visit the museum and the restaurant while in Stockholm for the Nobel Prize ceremony. After the meal, they are invited to sign the chair they were sitting on.
Come by, order your drink, flip the chair upside down and discover whose autograph is hiding there!
Bonus fact: the chairs are numbered and the staff has a list of which Nobel laureates have signed which chairs. So don’t try to steal one!
