I was watching CNN interviewing the Norwegian Foreign Minister over the choice of Liu Xiabo.
There was a post in one of the thread about it being Oslo, in reply to my comment that the Nobel Committee being in Sweden.
The answer was given by the Foreign Minister.
The Peace Prize is given in Norway.
The Norwegian Nobel Institute was founded on February 1, 1904, for the purpose of assisting the Nobel Committee in its task of deciding who is to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The Director of the Institute is the Nobel Committee's permanent secretary, and the Institute can be regarded as the Committee's secretariat.
