Vrak – Museum of Wrecks, Maritime archaeology museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
Vrak is a museum dedicated to shipwrecks and maritime objects discovered in the depths of the Baltic Sea. The exhibitions combine physical artifacts with interactive displays and digital reconstructions to show what these sunken vessels looked like and what they carried.
The museum opened in 2020 and introduced a new way to present Sweden's underwater archaeological discoveries to the public. This allowed stories of sunken vessels and their cargo to be shared widely for the first time.
The museum reveals how maritime trade routes shaped daily life and communities around the Baltic Sea over centuries. Visitors see what goods were transported and how sea connections allowed different coastal towns to grow and exchange with one another.
The museum is open daily with consistent hours throughout the week, though certain days may have extended access times. Visitors should allow time to explore the various exhibits and can inquire about available orientation options at the entrance.
The museum includes a section documenting the history of Swedish diving and early underwater exploration techniques. This collection shows how divers gradually developed better methods to reach greater depths and recover objects from the seafloor.
