Last time I saw this ship was in 1966 when it was elsewhere in the harbor under a protective cover still being sprayed with a glycol solution so it would not dry out too fast. Now it's restoration is complete and it is a 'must see', even if you are not into ships. The historical information is excellent as are... more

We had just been to a viking ship museum in Denmark, and were about ready to pass this by. But it was open early and included in the Stockholm city pass (highly recommended!), so we "popped in" for a quick visit on our way to Skansen. We wound up staying nearly 2 1/2 hours! No matter how many times we... more

It's a really nice museum, and would recommend to visit. Try to go into the video they offer, they present it every 30 minutes or so in different languages. Set your camera in night mode, because the museum is quite dark and pictures don't come out good with flash. more

The was my favourite part of my trip to Stockholm. The Ship was fantastic and the Tour was SO interesting. I was totally lost in the word of our guide as he walked us through the Story of the Ship. From the Reasons it was built and the history of that time, the problems with the Ship, the Sinking, and... more

This was essentially the first sight we saw after arriving from our overnight flight - and to be honest yes, I did fall asleep at the tables beside the coat racks while my traveling companions were walking around. It is a unique museum, and typically defined as a "must - see" - I am glad I went, but in the... more

This museum was excellent. The content and how it was laid out is first rate. The old ship is obviously the high light, but there is also a lot of history and facts about early Nordic Life. The presentation when you enter the museum (large theatre) put everything into perspective and lays the foundation for the rest of the visit.... more

I won't repeat all that has been said, as it truly is a unique thing, and lots of exhibits other than the ship itself (the bones!). It is, however very crowded, depending on when you arrive. We were from a cruise ship, although we got there on our own using the trolleys. There were so many cruise ship buses arriving... more

Fabulous

Much better than I expected - even for a number 1 attraction!Large facility gives you lots of room to look. Don't mind a wait to get in because once you're in it's not too crowded. more
