屠呦呦个人资料在诺贝尔博物馆展出

In the Swedish capital of Stockholm, home town of the founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel, a new exhibition is being held to show profiles of this year's laureates. Among them is Chinese medical scientist Tu Youyou.

Another Chinese in the list of the Nobel Prize winners.

Tu Youyou is the 12th female to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, since it was first awarded in 1901.

Before the prize giving ceremony, Tu visited the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, and signed the No. 69 chair in the museum's café.

As part of the tradition, Nobel prizewinners would autograph a chair in the café, since the museum opened in 2001.

So far, the museum has amassed over 230 signatures.

The chairs are seated by hundreds of visitors daily, when they take their lunch or coffee at the cafe.

"In the museum we have those chairs. We let all the Nobel laureates when they come to the museum sign the chairs. So if you go to the Cafeteria and have a cup of coffee or tee and turn the chairs up and down, you will find a lot of autographs. On Sunday, all the laureates from this year went to the museum. And Tu Youyou signed this chair," said Tobias Degsell, docent of Nobel Museum.

One of the exhibits is a special gift from Tu to the museum -- a Chinese book about artemisinin published in 1970s.

(After reporter asked: I think this book is written by Chinese. Is there anybody here can read Chinese?)

"Well, we have actually not so many personnel can read Chinese. But we have some of the staff actually have some study of Chinese, so they can read it. But a couple of years ago when Mo Yan received the Noble Prize Literature, he donated his complete work in Chinese to us. So we plent of books in Chinese, we can learn Chinese," Degsell said.

At the museum, one of Stockholm’s most beautiful 18th-century buildings, you could also learn more about the Nobel Prize and its founder, as well as the Nobel Laureates and their creative endeavors.

In the past one hundred years, more than 800 Laureates have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Each Laureate is presented in a random order, through a portrait and Prize citation along a cable way in the ceiling.
