We came here and the ship is massive and very impressive. The 17 minute film is a great orientation to it and the recovery efforts. One of the coolest parts is on the bottom level where they have used archeology and bone evidence to reconstruct the skeletons and make educated guesses about who they were from characteristics of the bones. Really nice exhibit. You can get through it in 2-3 hours easily.

This is an amazing museum. The story of the sinking of the Vasa on its maiden voyage is sad and does point to a major design flaw but serendipity means we have a perfectly preserved 1600 war ship! We spent a couple of hours looking round. Well designed and informative. Lots for children. Nice cafe/restaurant. Highly recommended.

The museum is a large building as it houses an almost fully intact 17th-century ship, the only one that has ever been salvaged, the 64-gun warship Vasa that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628. What is most interesting about the museum is the description of what life was like at that time, particularly for the sailors, and a sailor's life was not a pleasant one. A sailor at that time had to supply their own food until the ship that they were on left Swedish waters.

This museum was one of the most famous stunning places I have ever been. The ship is spectacular and the wood work is outstanding and beautiful. I will 100% be coming back to visit the next time I come and visit this beautiful country.

We were in awe from the moment we walked in. I can't count how many times my husband and I said "Wow!" It's a fascinating story of a failed voyage and an amazing reclamation and restoration. To actually see the ship in its entirety is breathtaking. The accompanying exhibits and models just add more to the very positive experience. In our opinion, this is a "can't miss" for anyone visiting Stockholm.

I don't generally visit museums but this blew my mind. We stayed for almost 2 hours reading through all the interesting information about the ship, how the Swedes restored it..what life was like in the 1600's for the doomed passengers. Impressive ship and history.

I5 minutes before closing time but the counter staff allow us to enter for a quick tour as we were having the Hop off Hop Off sightseeing Pass. Amazed by the full view of the ship Vasa upon entry that dominate almost the entire space. Its so mesmerizing to view it up close. The wrack is so well conserved ,the entire wood work is outstanding and beautiful with detailed and fine carvings around the entire ship. The ship can be seen from several level , but we were only only on the lobby level, we just managed to browsed through some of its exhibitions and documentations on its history, We wish to have more time, the museum is closing , thus if there is a future visit to Stockholm , we would surely be back to see this only preserved 17th-century ship in the world !!

We’ve been to lots of museums with our teens but this is one of the best. Seeing the entire ship was really mind blowing and it is so beautifully brought to life through the “stories” of some of the people who were on board. A real highlight of our trip to Stockholm.

The museum is very interesting. It offers insights into the history and restoration of the ship. The exhibition is spread over 5 floors with lots of information and details. Very interesting is the video presentation - at certain times which is offered in many languages. With English subtitles, however, it is possible to watch the presentation at any time. In any case, you should take 2-3 hours.

Amazing to see the ship recovered from the water after laying submerged for over 300 years. 98% is original. Many of the items recovered can be viewed, as can the skeletons of some of those who perished. Well worth a visit - much more than we'd expected.
