The Vasamuseum - coolest place according to Times
Interactive exhibitions, virtual tour guides, movies, DJs. Times online lists the 12 coolest places for learning and the Vasamuseum is one of them.
"Here’s a museum with just one exhibit — but what a humdinger. The 17th-century oak warship Vasa is Sweden’s Titanic: hauled out of Stockholm harbour in 1961, 333 years after sinking on its maiden voyage, the ship is a Pirates of the Caribbean fantasy, writhing with multicoloured carvings of emperors and dragons, and squeezed so hugely into the shadowy hall that you fear it’s going to burst the sides. You can swarm everywhere, peering into portholes and checking out the movies and models that bring the ship’s tragicomic history to life."
