VRAK- Museum of Wrecks a museum about the world’s greatest cultural heritage of the bottom of the Baltic Sea, will bring the wrecks and finds to the surface in a new museum.
The museum is part of the Swedish National Maritime and Transport Museums, a government agency together with the Vasa Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the National Naval Museum and the National Railway Museum.
Thanks to the special history and conditions of the Baltic Sea, the area contains a large variety of unique, well-preserved shipwrecks and other remains from different eras of equal significance as the renowned Vasa ship.
The Baltic Sea is one of the world’s busiest seas. Thanks to a unique combination of brackish water, cold, darkness and low oxygen levels in the Baltic Sea, materials – even wood – can be preserved in almost perfect condition.
VRAK- Museum of Wrecks will offer new historical and contemporary perspectives. With the help of finds and new digital technologies, they can show and tell visitors about the people who have had the sea as their livelihood, as travel routes, as battlefields- and as graves.
This world, largely unknown to the public, will come to life with the help of innovative methods in- and outside the new archaeological museum arena.
We are very exciting to create this beautiful museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
Late 2020, opens the new museum. From that moment visitors can dive deep into the Baltic Sea and discover al the unknown secrets.
