Source

The Marinmuseum, located on the island of Stumholmen in Karlskrona, is Sweden's national naval museum. It is dedicated to the preservation of the country's naval history and the Swedish naval defense. The museum offers a unique insight into the naval history of Sweden, making it a fascinating destination for those interested in maritime history.

Architecture and Unique Features of the Marinmuseum

The Marinmuseum is housed in a rectangular building that includes a pier extending into the water. Around the pier, several museum ships can be seen. A unique feature of the museum is a specially designed underwater tunnel with windows, which allows visitors to view the wreckage of several seventeenth-century ships. This unique experience provides a glimpse into the maritime past of Sweden.

New Section of the Marinmuseum

In June 2014, a new section of the Marinmuseum was opened. In this section, visitors can view the very first submarine of the Swedish navy, the HMS Hajen, as well as its far more modern counterpart, the HMS Neptun. These submarines can be viewed not only from the outside but also from the inside, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of naval technology.
