The Vasa Museum (or Vasamuseet which is way more fun to say) was super cool, basically this giant super-old ship that was preserved in it's entirety in the Stockholm bay. And it's in really good condition since it sank on it's very first trip....which is sort of funny, and makes me think about how many historical museums benefit from the stupid mistakes of the past. Anyways, the museum building itself was pretty cool, there were a bunch of different levels because the ship is so huge, and the building itself looks kind of ship-ish. The last photo was taken in the National Gallery-they had this exhibit about exploring new ways to display art (as opposed to the standard pedestal/painting on the wall/benches in the middle look), like putting all these old busts together on scaffolding. Makes a little more interesting, like a big modern work of art made from little old statues. Good stuff.
