Vasa Musuem (Vasa Museet)
Stockholm's most famous attraction, this museum houses the fascinating shipwreck of the 17th century warship, the Vasa. Once Sweden's most formidable war creation for its sheer hugeness,
its history is told via an excellent multimedia exhibition, which not only details how it sank,
but the elaborate rescue and restoration efforts it took to retrieve the wreck from the bottom
of Stockholm harbour.
