Stockholm, Sweden -(5) Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum is the most popular museum in Scandinavia and is home to the only 17th-century ship ever salvaged. The ship, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1628, is displayed in its entirety in the museum's seven floors, allowing visitors to view it from different angles. In addition to the ship, the museum also provides detailed stories about life on board. The sculptures on the ship are a colossal work of art, which were reportedly part of an advertising campaign from seventeenth-century Sweden with an enormous budget. Over 700 sculptures and decorations adorn the ship. However, the ship only sailed for a few minutes before sinking in Stockholm harbor, so life aboard never began.

Stockholm, Sweden-(3) Subway Art

A single subway ticket in Stockholm costs 39 Swedish kronas and allows for a 75-minute ride on both the metro train and bus. Stockholm's subway system is famous for its stunning and unique art installations found in many of its stations. Each station is painted in different colors and themes, making it a must-see attraction for art lovers. Here are some photos taken from a few of the stations that I had the chance to visit.
