Lectures and evening opening hours at the museum. What did the complex harbour operations look like in the Viking town of Hedeby? And how were goods cleared in customs during Sigtuna’s earliest times, when archaeologists haven’t yet found the town’s harbour? The lecture will be held by Sven Kalmring, curator of the Late Iron Age collections at the National Historical Museums in Stockholm and associate professor at Stockholm University, and Johan Runer, doctor of archaeology and curator at the National Maritime and Transport Museums.
How does free admission sound? Or a fire show, a look at a dive truck, or a pop-up tour? And don’t forget the popcorn. Come and celebrate Stockholm’s iconic Culture Night at Vrak. During the evening, we’ll be doing pop-up tours about the different wrecks in the Baltic Sea. You can have a bite to eat or a drink at our café Mackverket, too. Take the chance to experience the museum in a different way, bathed in light and music. You won’t want to miss Culture Night at the museum.

Join the museum’s knowledgeable guides on a special tour of the so-called Osmund wreck from the 16th century. What was in the cargo when the ship sank, and why is it called the Osmund wreck?
Lectures and evening opening hours. This ship, carrying various kinds of cargo, was probably a common sight both in the port of Stockholm and on the Baltic Sea during the 16th century. But from an archaeological perspective, the Osmund wreck is the first of its kind. In 2024, new investigations will take place on the Osmund wreck. The goal is to salvage two barrels for analysis of the fabled osmund iron. The barrels containing the osmunds have proven to be uniquely designed for osmund iron— but why? The investigations also aim to document construction timbers from the stern, with the hope of being able to reveal what the transom looked like. Thanks to grants from the Voice of the Ocean Foundation, the Museum of Wrecks and Jernkontoret can continue their joint research on the osmund trade across the Baltic Sea.
