Hej, I hope you are all doing quite well. This week I went to a very special museum on Monday after work and a short detour back to the flat.
In the heart of Stockholm lies an extraordinary museum dedicated to the preservation and exploration of shipwrecks - the Museum of Wrecks (Vrack). The museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse of the Baltic Sea and all its dark secrets. Not only has the warship Vasa been salvaged from the Baltic Sea, but many other ships and aircraft have been discovered and their treasures brought to the surface over the years. The museum displays warships from the Middle Ages, submarines and fighter planes from the Second World War and even container ships that were wrecked there are on display in this museum.
One of the highlights of the museum is the virtual diving experience, where visitors can explore the wrecks up close using VR headsets. This immersive experience allows for an underwater adventure in the Baltic Sea without getting wet. This is complemented by historical artefacts recovered from the wrecks and detailed documentation of the recovery and restoration processes of these valuable finds.
A visit to this museum is a journey into the depths of history, showcasing the enduring connection between humans and the sea over the centuries. For those interested in maritime adventure, historical discoveries, and cutting edge exhibition techniques, Stockholm's museum of wrecks is a true treasure trove.
