The ship was salvaged 333 years later and is still being renovated and restored. At the museum you'll see the Vasa yourself, as well as exhibits about how the ship was built, how sailors on lived on similar ships in the 1600s, and other topics related to maritime history.

A museum with a collection of 3 Viking ships from the 10th century. Two of the ships are remarkably well preserved—almost completely intact—while one is missing about half its structure. The ships were used in ceremonial burials, so they sank with numerous gifts and artifacts.
