Norwegian Nobel Institute

The Norwegian Nobel Institute (Norwegian: Det Norske Nobelinstitutt) was established in 1904 in Oslo, Norway. The principal duty of the Nobel Institute is to assist the Norwegian Nobel Committee in the task of selecting the recipient of the annual Nobel Peace Prize and to organize the Nobel award event in Oslo. The institute is situated in the center of the city, just by the side of the Royal Palace. Diagonally across the street is the U.S. Embassy.
