The Vasa Museum was built for a single purpose only – to display the Vasa warship which sank in 1628 on her maiden voyage and was salvaged in 1961 (the only preserved 17th century ship in the world, it is also fascinating viewing). Although you cannot actually board the vessel you can get up pretty close and personal to it... More

The Vasa Museum was truly an amazing experience. We could already see the masts sticking out from the building. We took a boat from the Old town part to get to the museum. You can see the history of the ship and it's huge! Discover how it sunk and how much effort it took to dig it back up from... More

The ship can be viewed from different levels of the museum in order to get a better perspective of the size of the ship.... More

The history associated with both the ship and the museum is fascinating. Well worth a... More

You can learn more about history, but... More

The Ship was amazing to see and much bigger than i imagined. almost all... More
