An exhibition at the Herman B Wells Library featuring Nobel Prize Laureates will be on display until May 2006 before traveling to the United Nations in New York.  A complementary exhibition is currently on display at the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland. 

Created jointly by the Center for the Study of Global Change at Indiana University and the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland, the exhibition celebrates the 100^th anniversary of the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Bertha von Suttner, who in 1905 became the first woman to receive the prize.

Among the laureates featured are U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who led the United States delegation to the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference; Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who won the peace prize in 1922 for his humanitarian work with refugees; and current Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Arranged on 45 free-standing panels each six feet tall, the display is located in the lobby and the first floor of the east tower of the Wells Library.  Each panel celebrating a laureate includes a photo, quote, and short biographical sketch.
