Stockholm Syndrome

At Karolinska Insitute, the Nobel Museum and around the Old Town (Gamla Stan).

A soldier stands on watchful guard outside the Kungliga slottet (“royal palace”)
located on Stadsholmen (“city island”), in Gamla Stan (the old town)
in the capital, Stockholm. It neighbours the Riksdag, Sweden's parliament.

At the Nobel Museum, Mr Petters shows us the unusual curating of Laureate autographs. In this case,
the signatures of Jerome I. Friedman (Physics, 1990), Robert J. Aumann (Economics, 2005) and
Sydney Brenner (Physiology/Medicine, 2002) may be distinguished.
