Vasa Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
When you come to Sweden, you will be attracted by the variety of museums here, and the Vasa Museum is one of the more special museums. It was built for the exhibition of a wreck of the Vasa that was salvaged from the bottom of the sea. "Vasa" is an ancient warship of the seventeenth century. It was built in 3 years according to the will of King Gustav II of Sweden. Unfortunately, when the warship was on its maiden voyage, it was overturned by strong winds and waves, and the ship sank at an accelerated rate due to the excessive weight of the ship. It was not until 1961 that it was finally salvaged by the government and repaired in all aspects. Now walking into this museum, people can not only see the original appearance of the warship more than 300 years ago, but also appreciate more than 700 exquisite original sculptures on the ship. The decoration on this ship is very luxurious. If it weren't for those cannons, it is indeed difficult to associate it with warships. We have to marvel at the superb craftsmanship and carving craftsmanship of Swedish shipbuilding in the seventeenth century.

The Wasa Shipwreck Museum is a unique museum among many Swedish museums, built to showcase the Wasa shipwreck recovered from the seabed. [1] Stockholm's Vasa shipwreck museum is built near the site of Vasa, known as the most luxurious warship of the year, and was unfortunately sunk only 2 kilometers from the port when it first sailed in 1628. Vasa is the only well-preserved 17th century ship in the world.
