Welcome to Stockholm, Vasamuseet
|
17th-century Vasa war galleon, housed in a specially constructed museum, is the top attraction in Scandinavia. On its maiden voyage in 1628, in front of thousands of onlookers, the Royal Warship Vasa capsized and sank almost instantly to the bottom of Stockholm harbor. Its salvage in 1961 was an engineering triumph. On board were more than 4,000 coins, carpenter's tools, sailor's pants, fish bones, and other items of archaeological interest. Best of all, 97% of the ship's 700 original decorative sculptures were found. Carefully restored, they are now back aboard the stunning ship. It once again carries grotesque faces, lion masks, fish-shaped bodies, and other carvings, some still covered with the original paint and gilt. By walking through the ‘gun deck’ and the exhibit of original objects (including medical equipment, preserved clothes, and a backgammon board), you can get an idea of life aboard the ship. www.vasamuseet.se.
