I warmly recommend everyone visit the Vasa museum in Stockholm https://www.vasamuseet.se/en https://www.vasamuseet.se/en
Its a massive warship that capsized on her maiden voyage, and was raised in 1960s and is preserved in staggeringly amazing detail and completeness. Its absolutely gobsmackingly breathtaking :)

- cstuder 9y agoVery warmly recommended, an awesome museum. I especially liked the story about the Vasa construction being an example of bad project management: If there's too much of a power difference between different actors, people might drown.
- ploek 9y agoSpeaking of warmly: if you happen to visit in summer, dress more warmly than you normally would because the museum is fairly cold to better preserve the ship.

- rconti 9y agoAmazing too, that the map in this article shows the ship was found directly across the water from the Vasa museum! I second the Vasa recommendation. Absolutely fantastic.
