Swedish maritime underwater heritage
The Vrak Museum of Wrecks, a prominent maritime historical institution located on Djurgården Island in Stockholm, officially opened its doors in September 2021 under state ownership.
Nestled within Boat Hall 2 at Galärvarvet, the museum finds its place among esteemed neighbors such as the Vasa Museum, Skansen, the Nordic Museum and Gröna Lund. This ambitious project materialized through a collaborative effort between the State Maritime and Transport Historical Museums and the Maritime Archaeology Research Institute at Södertörn University.
