Silence governs this university tower – thought and reflection, mirroring the tone of an exhibition about genius people and their works, their discoveries.

And it is creativity itself, which reigns as the key word of the Nobel Exhibition in the University of Technology, Sydney. Creativity, profound ideas, the remarkable works of the human mind – all remembered in “Beautiful Minds: The Centenial Exhibition of the Nobel Prizes.”

The exhibition is subdivided into three sections, each presenting a unique element of the work of a Nobel laureate – individuals and their unique discoveries, the celebrations in Stockholm, as well as the homes in which they lived.

You can glimpse not only machines and medical apparatuses of physicists and doctors, but also the more personal, individual souvenirs from the laureates themselves – such as the typewriter of Wole Soyinka, the black, silken slippers of Selma Lagerlöf, the Bible and letters of Kim Dae-jung as well as the devices used by Marie-Curie.

The exhibition, which opened on the 18th of April, ends on the 30th of June. Several medals from certain laureates have been recreated; two original diplomas can also be seen.

From Sydney it will travel to Abu Dhabi – having already visited Tokyo, Korea, the United States, Malaysia, India, England and Singapore.
