Full description
The Vasa Museum is the only place in the world where you can see an almost fully intact 17th-century ship that has ever been salvaged. The 64-gun warship Vasa sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 after only sailing around 1,300 metres. In the late 1950s, she was rediscovered and, 333 years after it sank, in 1961 the Vasa was salvaged from the harbour floor.
For almost thirty years, the ship was on display at a temporary museum. It wasn’t until 1990 that the Vasa got its own permanent museum, specially designed to with stylised masts on its roof which represent the actual height of the original ship. Inside, you can see the ship from six different levels, from the keel to the very top of the aftercastle.
With the ship at the centre of the museum, there are other exhibits set up around the ship throughout the museum. Some of the exhibits focus on the ship itself, with models portraying the construction, sinking, location and recovery of the Vasa. Other exhibits show you life on board the Vasa, as there would have been 145 sailors and 300 soldiers on board.
