Superb exhibition of the Vasa. Allow about an hour and a half to get the full benefit of the exhibition. Plenty of models to explain the various parts of the ship.

Better than I could have expected, the ship is just awe-inspiring and the museum is really interesting. We stayed 2 hours and could have stayed 2 hours more if the museum hadn't closed! More

I was told I HAD to visit this museum. Not being a huge ship fan, I was skeptical. However, my friends were right. The Vasa should not be missed! It's one of those sights you have to see to truly appreciate. The scale of the ship is incredible and its story is interesting. More
