General information
Manne Siegbahnlaboratoriet (MSL) was a Swedish research facility for experimental physics, nuclear physics and atomic and molecular physics.
The building is named after Manne Siegbahn, the Swedish Nobel laureate in physics in 1924. The house was designed by the architect Gustav Holmdahl (1879-1958) and inaugurated in 1936.
In the same year, Manne Siegbahn was awarded a professorship in experimental physics and the Royal Academy of Sciences decided to found an institute with him as director, the Nobel Institute for Physics. Later, the institute changed its name to the Research Institute for Atomic Physics and finally became the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory.
