Outline of exhibition

How would you answer questions from Nobel laureates?

The Nobel Prize was established by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. The prize is awarded to "the person who has contributed the most to the happiness of mankind". This exhibition introduces the messages of “Questions we hope visitors keep thinking about,” from Nobel prize winners, who have understood and cooperated with the activities of the Miraikan. The messages are in the form of questions. Please, take time to think about how you would answer these unique questions.
