Vasa is the only 17th century ship in the world that has survived to this day. The pride of the Swedish navy, the Vasa ship was created magnificent and pretentious, with a huge amount of jewelry and gold, so an inaccurate calculation led to the fact that it capsized and sank in Stockholm harbor in 1628, during its maiden voyage.

The ship is on display in a purpose-built museum, which also features nine related exhibitions, a wide range of merchandise store and an upscale restaurant.
