Maritime Museum (Stockholm)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sjöhistoriska museet (Maritime Museum in English) is located in the Östermalm district of Stockholm, Sweden. The building in which the museum is housed was constructed between 1933 and 1936 by architect Ragnar Östberg.
On the bottom floor there are, among other things, exhibits on Swedish naval history including several detailed models of 18th century ships. The second floor includes exhibits on Swedish commercial fleets. In the basement is a cabin from King Gustav III's ship "Amphion". Outside of the museum is a statue simply called "The Sailor" (Sjömannen), a memorial to the Swedish sailors who died during the Second World War.
