Introduction
The Vasa Museum stands on Stockholm's Djurgården, displaying the 17th-century warship Vasa, which sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged in 1961. Almost perfectly preserved, the towering carved galleon stuns visitors and makes this the most-visited museum in the Nordic region — a lost naval power reborn in the hall.
