The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the sea bed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's best preserved 17th century ship and the most visited museum in Scandinavia.

Vasa was as much a floating palace as a sailing vessel and war machine. The Vasa Up Close exhibition provides deeper understanding of the Vasa's sculptures, what they looked like, and what they symbolised.
Take a break in the museum's restaurant. Enjoy food made from fine Swedish ingredients and a beautiful sea view. We have a lunch menu for both adults and children. For coffee, we have several pastries to choose from.
In our latest exhibition Vasa's Women researchers’ work reveals a partially new and surprising image of the living conditions of women during the early part of the 17th century.
There's something to see and do for all the family at Vasa museum. Pick up a children's map, or download it here, for a fun way to explore the museum together.
