It was built for the exhibition of a wreck of the Vasa that was salvaged from the bottom of the sea. "Vasa" is an ancient warship of the seventeenth century. It was built in 3 years according to the will of King Gustav II of Sweden. Unfortunately, when the warship was on its maiden voyage, it was overturned by strong winds and waves, and the ship sank at an accelerated rate due to the excessive weight of the ship. It was not until 1961 that it was finally salvaged by the government and repaired in all aspects. Now walking into this museum, people can not only see the original appearance of the warship more than 300 years ago, but also appreciate more than 700 exquisite original sculptures on the ship. The decoration on this ship is very luxurious. If it weren't for those cannons, it is indeed difficult to associate it with warships. We have to marvel at the superb craftsmanship and carving craftsmanship of Swedish shipbuilding in the seventeenth century.

Queen's Island Palace is Sweden's first World Heritage Site. There are two ancient buildings with a long history and magnificent momentum here: the Chinese Palace and the Queen's Island Theatre. So far, the castle part of Queen's Island is still inhabited by the Swedish royal family. Because a fire in 1661 destroyed the former palace, the then princess Hedvig Eleonora ordered architect Nicodemus Tessin to build a new palace, but after more than 20 years, the construction was still not completed. Tessin's son inherited his father's legacy and took Versailles as a prototype , and then designed and built the palace. However, due to the financial difficulties caused by the war and the different requirements of different generations of monarchs, the style of the Queen's Island Palace changed again and again, and it was not until the mid-18th century that it was nearly completed. However, in 1792, King Gustav III was assassinated in the theater in it, and the construction of the palace was stopped again. It was not until 1960 that this magnificent and beautiful palace was finally completed. Mixing the concept of the French Baroque style of Tessin and his son and the British style that Gustav III liked, playing it makes people linger.
