When you walk in the door, the size and impressiveness of the ship hits you immediately. We didn't think it would take more than 30 minutes to go through the museum, and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours (and could have spent longer). The exhibits are very good, and the ship is very impressive. You really get a sense for...

This is an intersetin museum based on the Vasa warship that sunk in the harbot after launch. If you don't know the story, they tried to do bigger and better but it was too top heavy, then gust of wind, no more ship. It is interesting how the sailers lived during those times. Also how the restored the ship is...

This museum is fascinating, the work and the effort and the pride the people of the city take in it is evident when you walk in and when you listen to the guide. It is unlike any museum I have seen in any other part of the world. Do not miss it, it is a must see.

The highlight of course is the only almost fully intact 17th century ship that has ever been salvaged, the 64-gun warship Vasa that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.

As most of the reviews agree, it's a must see in Stockholm. Even though I'd read the reviews prior to going, seeing it for yourself is something else altogether. Amazing. The museum is also good.

This is an unusual museum built round a 17th century warship which sank 20 minutes in to its maiden voyage. The original ship is on view together with exhibits and very good explanations in Swedish and English. English speaking tours are available as [part of the entrance fee and well worth taking. Not to be missed.

This was such a well done museum. Not only was the ship incredible to see but the whole museum was well set out. Plenty of signage and detail making this one of the best attractions we have been to for a long time. Don't miss this when you visit Stockholm!
