Kaknästurnet

Kaknästurnet, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  The last tip is certainly not the most beautiful one to look at: the Kaknästurnet (Kaknäs tower). The Kaknäs Tower is the hub of all TV and radio transmission in Sweden. And although ugly to look at it is said that you have some wonderful views from this 155-metre high tower...

Totem pole of the Haisla Indians, Canada, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  The last thing about the Etnografiska Museet I would like to show you is this totem pole of the Haisla Indians in Canada. But if you want to see this totem pole in the museum you do have to hurry! After long talks and renewed interests in the totem pole by the Haisla...

Etnografiska museet, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  The Etnografiska museet (Museum of Ethnography) is located next to the Tekniska Museet (Museum of Science and Technology) and the Sjöhistoriska museet (National Maritime Museum). This museum seems to be the smallest of the three, but there is enough to see here to keep you...

The slithering one.....

The slithering one....., Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  The slithering one.....Okay, let me introduce you to some of the 'cute' animals of the Skansen Aquarium. Some are a bit creepy though, hahaha, as this one from the snake collection. They are behind glass though, so not really something to worry about. Although.... I was here... 

Skansen

Skansen, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  I've only been to Skansen in the wintertime and this isn't the best time to be here. During summer the place comes alive, all kinds of events are going on, and it must be fun to walk around here in the summertime. In the winter it is very quiet and not much to do, so I can't... 

Why did the Vasa sink?

Why did the Vasa sink?, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  When the Vasa set sail in 1628 she was one of the mightiest warship in the world. With 64 guns and 300 soldiers she was to put fear in the hearts of the enemy. But it never got that far, the ship sank after just a few minutes of sailing. So why did a brand-new and mighty... 

The woodcarvings of the Vasa

The woodcarvings of the Vasa, Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  The part of the ship that I really enjoyed was watching the woodcarvings. There are around 700 sculptures and ornaments that decorate the warship. This is a huge woodcarving on the back of the ship. But you can find woodcarvings on all parts of the ship, like in the previous...

Skansen akvariet (Skansen Aquarium)

Skansen akvariet (Skansen Aquarium), Djurgårdsbrunn

 sim1 Says:  When you are at Skansen, you must consider visiting the Skansen Akvariet (Skansen Aquarium) as well. You have to pay an extra entrance fee in addition to the entrance to Skansen, but I think it is worth it, as it is a little but very nice aquarium. You can see all kinds of...
