Vrak - Museum of Wrecks

6 of the most exciting museum openings around the world - SilverKris

"Promising to bring the wrecks and finds of the Baltic Sea to the surface, this new museum will let visitors dive deep into the secrets of an underwater world. Stockholm already has great museums, and this has the potential to be one of the most fascinating: it will be situated on Djurgården Island, next door to the slightly bonkers Vasa Museum—the home of the preserved 17th‑century warship so enormous it sank in Stockholm’s harbour before it saw any service, a crazy, royal shipbuilding fantasy that led to the death of 30 crew. Unlike the Vasamuseet’s narrower focus, the Museum of Wrecks will bring together the work of all the naval museums in the city and show off the work of marine archaeologists who have been scouring Stockholm’s Archipelago and the Baltic Sea for decades looking for new shipwrecks. Don’t miss the chance to learn through archaeology and technology; it’s scheduled to open towards the end of the year, and from 2022 you may even be able to go diving with shipwrecks in planned dive parks off the coast of Sweden’s Karlskrona region, south of Stockholm." - Kate Crowther
