Nobel Monument
Monument in New York City
Summary
The Nobel Monument is an four-sided stele in honor of U.S. Nobel laureates, located just northwest of the American Museum of Natural History in Theodore Roosevelt Park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. The names of U.S. laureates of the Nobel Prize are engraved on its western, southern, and eastern sides, and the name and image of Alfred Nobel on the north side. It is the only monument in a New York City park which bears the names of living people.
