At the Nobel Museum in Stockholm...


WWW hosted a special evening for conference attendees here.  Small but surprisingly affecting museum.  There's a ceiling-mounted track full of banners for each of the Nobel laureates.  Each banner comes down the central hall, a graceful procession, and then joins the line, going around the ceiling circuit.  It takes 6 hours for each banner to make a full circuit, making a wonderful shush-shushing sound the whole time.  The videos in this museum were for me the highlight - focused on different awardees, wildly varied in style and approach.  I watched till closing, then sauntered around Gamla Stan, the old city and took the subway back to the hotel.  A fine evening.
