• Bring a warm sweater, since the hall is kept at 18-20°C to preserve the ship and can feel chilly
• No large bags allowed: handbags and small backpacks only, carried with you, and there are no lockers (strollers are fine)
• Children's audio guide on your phone follows Olof, a boy working at the shipyard where Vasa was built, for kids 8 and up

The Vasa Museum is built around Vasa, a warship that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was raised after 333 years on the seabed. About 98% of the ship dates from the 1600s, covered in hundreds of wooden sculptures.

Kids can follow the family trail, compare the ship with a brightly painted model, watch the film about the Vasa Piglet, and join hands-on activities with museum staff.
