What to expect

The Vasa: The warship sits at the centre of the museum, viewable across six floor levels from the keel up to the aftercastle.

• View the full height of the hull from the ground floor, where the stern's carved decorations are most visible.

• Exhibits across each level cover the ship's construction, the 1628 sinking just 1,300 metres into her maiden voyage, and the engineering failures behind it.

• Recovered personal belongings, tools, and reconstructed figures represent the 445 crew members who were aboard.

Salvage and Conservation: A dedicated section documents how the Vasa was rediscovered in the late 1950s and raised in 1961.

• Follow the recovery timeline through scale models and original salvage equipment.

• Conservation exhibits explain how the ship continues to be preserved to this day.
