Review & FAQ:
The Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet) is a museum dedicated to Stockholm’s maritime history. Located on the green island of Djurgården, the Vasa opened in 1990 and is one of the city’s most visited museums. The institution’s most famous exhibit is the almost entirely intact 64-gun warship Vasa that had the misfortune to sink on her maiden voyage in 1628 and one of the only ships from this period to have been salvaged and restored.
There are numerous exhibits and models around the ship showing the construction, sinking, location, and recovery of the ship as well as exhibits on the history of Sweden in the 17th century. The museum also features four other ships moored outside the building, namely the light vessel Finngrundet (1903), the icebreaker Sankt Erik (1915), the rescue boat Bernhard Ingelsson (1944), and the torpedo boat Spica (1966).
