Movember at the Museum

Yes, Movember is here again! The Nobel Peace Center has a fantastic collection of Nobel moustaches. Who said peace couldn’t be fun? — Movember — a month to celebrate moustaches around the world and promote awareness on men’s health issues, especially prostate and testicular cancer.
