Vasamuseet aka: Vasa Museum

This museum was amazing. The ship itself is astonishingly complete for having been underwater for so long, and the rest of the museum adds a lot to the boat itself, in terms of detail and context.
It is a great building too.

Agree with other comments that it is difficult to get good photos inside

This is a well presented museum where you can slowly walk around the ship in a spiraling motion. Recommend you buy postcards. It is hard to get pictures with the lighting.

Highly reccomend visiting

takes at least 1,5 hours in case you allow to become fascinated by looking in detail at this wonderful ship

yes, indeed, it is “just a ship” – but it is spectacular!!

A really fascinating museum, very informative and it’s great to be able to get up close to the ship. What an amazing sight it must have been to see the Vasa being lifted up from the seabed after 333 years!

I first read about the VASA as a kid, and the idea of an intact warship from the 1600s really fascinated me.

I’ve visited the VASA Museum twice, and it’s amazing. You can get up close and really see the ship up close. There are also a series of displays that show the ship’s contents.

This is a “don’t miss” when in Stockholm.

Really, it’s probably one of the more incredible things I’ve ever seen. And, I think the museum is rather well designed.

Be prepare to spend at least three hours there. It is worth every penny.

The Vasa museum is a majestic space to hold a majestic maritime treasure: the great Swedish warship that sank nearly 400 years ago in Stockholm harbour.

This is a ‘must see’ stop on the Stockholm tourist trail – take the 47 or 7 bus from the Kulturhuset or Tourist information centre.

The exhibit is a mixture of multimedia, artefacts, inspired art with the ship itself an amazing centrepiece. You can’t actually go on board but you get a great view of the exterior detail and craftsmanship.

There’s a nice restaurant/cafe with a patio on site.

We’d heard so many great things about the Vasa Museum that we had to go. We enjoyed ourselves for an hour, and then were heartbroken to hear that, contrary to our guidebooks, the museum was closing. We could have stayed there for at least half a day! Lots of good exhibits on this great (and pathetic) ship. I need to go back just to experience the stuff I didn’t get to see.
