Gloves On September 11, 1916, Robert Bárány received his medal and his diploma, designed by Anna Berglund, from King Gustav V at the Royal Palace. On this occasion he wore these gloves. Bárány had been awarded the Nobel Prize the year before, but no award ceremonies were held during the First World War and Bárány had also been prevented from coming to Stockholm. As a volunteer, he served as a surgeon in the Austrian army on the Eastern Front. In 1915, he was a prisoner of war in Russia when it was announced that he had won the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. As a result of negotiations headed by Sweden's Prince Carl on behalf of the Red Cross, he was released in 1916.
The gloves were donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by the Bárány family in 2013.
