The Vasa Museum is Scandinavia's most visited museum, located in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. The Museum was inaugurated in 1990.

asa or Wasa (Swedish pronunciation: [²vɑːsa] ⓘ) is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship sank after sailing roughly 1,300 m (1,400 yd) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She fell into obscurity after most of her valuable bronze cannons were salvaged in the 17th century, until she was located again in the late 1950s in a busy shipping area in Stockholm harbor. The ship was salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961. She was housed in a temporary museum called Wasavarvet ("The Vasa Shipyard") until 1988 and then moved permanently to the Vasa Museum in the Royal National City Park in Stockholm. The ship is one of Sweden's most popular tourist attractions and has been seen by over 35 million visitors since 1961.[2] Since her recovery, Vasa has become a widely recognized symbol of the Swedish Empire.
The ship was built on the orders of the King of Sweden Gustavus Adolphus as part of the military expansion he initiated in a war with Poland-Lithuania (1621–1629). She was constructed at the navy yard in Stockholm under a contract with private entrepreneurs in 1626–1627 and armed primarily with bronze cannons cast in Stockholm specifically for the ship. Richly decorated as a symbol of the king's ambitions for Sweden and himself, upon completion she was one of the most powerfully armed vessels in the world. However, Vasa was dangerously unstable, with too much weight in the upper structure of the hull. Despite this lack of stability, she was ordered to sea and foundered only a few minutes after encountering a wind stronger than a breeze.

Visage de la guerre-Vasa
Même si cette mort n'est pas dû à un combat mais à une erreur de navigation il n'en reste pas moins qu'en tant que soldat cette personne avait beaucoup de chance de laisser sa peau au combat. Pourquoi? Une gloire éphémère, disparue il y a bien longtemps.....

The Vasa is the only preserved seventeenth-century ship in the world, and a unique art treasure. More than 95 percent of the ship is original, and it is decorated with hundreds of carved sculptures.

The Vasa is a Galleon, built in the early 1600s. It sank in Stockholm harbour in 1628 on its maiden voyage.
It was recovered in the latter part of the 20th century and is a reason by itself ot go to Stockholm. It is, simply, awesome. It is practically 100% intact and the museum structure allows you to view it from many angles.
If you have the opportunity, go see it.
Vasabron (Swedish: "The Vasa Bridge") is a bridge over Norrström in central Stockholm, Sweden connecting Norrmalm to the Old Town, the old city.
The bridge is, unintelligibly, named after King Gustav Vasa (1496-1560), perhaps Because of the vicinity to the statue of the king in front of the House of Knights. From Vasabron a much smaller bridge, Strömsborgsvägen Bridge, connects to the islet Strömsborgsvägen.

Today's upload is from the Vasa Museum in Stockholm and pictures the 1/10 scale model of the warship Vasa that's on display there. I found it extremely difficult to process this HDR but anyway I'm quite pleased with the result.
