What you'll do
Visit the Vasa Museum and experience one of the biggest cultural attractions in Stockholm, Sweden - the warship Vasa - which sank in 1628 on its maiden voyage from Stockholm. Learn about the history of the ship through fascinating exhibitions and see the restored wreck that was salvaged from beneath the water.
Along with incredibly detailed exhibitions, you can join a guided tour and learn about the sinking of this magnificent ship, the years it took to salvage it, and then the long restoration process to turn Vasa into what we see today.
While you're here, stop off at the museum's cool café and enjoy Fika (the Swedish concept of unwinding with a coffee and cake) afterwards.
Exhibitions
Life on Board

The Salvaging

Preserve Vasa
Explore the science behind the ship's preservation and the world-leading research into counteracting decomposition.
Facts
The battleship Vasa sank in 1628 after just sailing just over 1300m.
She lay below the surface for 333 years until being discovered by Anders Franzén and salvaged in 1961.
Some blame King Gustav II Adolf for the disaster, who ordered a large ship with too many heavy-caliber cannons for the ship’s dimensions. Others blame Master shipwright Henrik Hybertsson who was inexperienced at building ships with two gundecks.
What's included
Explore the most popular museum in Scandinavia.
Enjoy informative exhibits about the ship's past, sinking, and recovery operation.
