Naval Museum of Sweden
Naval Museum of Sweden, Naval museum in Karlskrona, Sweden.
The Naval Museum of Sweden is located on Stumholmen island and displays a large collection of ship models, weapons, uniforms, and documents from different periods. The building offers direct access to several preserved warships and submarines that visitors can explore.
The museum was founded in the mid-18th century to collect royal ship models and sea charts. It grew into one of Sweden's most important repositories for naval history.
The museum showcases objects that reflect Sweden's deep connection to the sea and maritime traditions. Visitors can see how shipbuilding and seafaring shaped the nation's story.
Access to the exhibitions is spread across multiple levels and vessels, so sturdy shoes and some patience are needed when exploring. The setting on and around the island is well suited for longer visits, with various entry points to the different ships and exhibition halls.
A glass tunnel beneath the island passes by 17th-century shipwrecks resting on the sea floor. This underwater view of centuries-old vessels is a rare and unforgettable experience during a visit.
