Hi !
You may have heard about Vasa Museum, which is a famous tourist attraction and belongs to the most visited museums in Stockholm. It is a maritime museum located on Djurgården in Stockholm and a dominant there is Vasa warship which sank only after few metres from the coast on her maiden voyage in 1628. In this museum, you can find various exhibitions related to the archeological findings of the ship and it offers an insights into early 17th centrury Sweden.
After the ship sunk in 1628, it had been below waterline for 333 years and now in the museum you can see 98 % of original ship, which is admirable and makes it world´s only preserved 17th century ship. You can see how decorated the ship was and read more about life onboard.
The Vasa Museum was opened in 1990 and every year more than a million vi
sitors come to enjoy this unique exhibition. Preserving the ship presents a challenge therefore climate in the museum is constantly controlled and the temparature is maintained around 19°C, light is kept dark and humidity has to be set at certain level not to allow bacteria and mold to develop.
I have not share the reason why it sunk because I find it interesting and I do not want to spoil all interesting things about the ship as I believe that you can enjoy it more when explored by yourself.
Here is an offial website of Vasa museum so you can find more information and details.
Have a nice Sunday ! Denisa
