The Nobel Prize Day takes place on December 10 and celebrates those achieving excellence in their chosen fields. Previous Nobel Prize winners have included Marie Curie, Bob Dylan, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela.
The prizes are to recognise “those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind”, according to Alfred Nobel’s will. But who is Alfred Nobel, the creator of the day?
