Vasa museum

Sorry I haven’t done a post in a while. The reason I haven’t done a post is because I’ve done a lot of traveling. I’m now in Stockholm in Sweden.

So now let’s get on with the post…

Today I went to the Vasa museum. The Vasa is an almost 400 year old ship that sank in the 17th century. It is famous because it was brought up to the surface in one piece 333 years later. It is in almost the same condition now as back then. It’s first voyage only lasted 20 minutes before it sank.

Today the boat looks like wood but originally it was colourful. They ground up plants and minerals to make paint to decorate the boat.

Guggenheim museum

Yesterday I went to the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain.

The Guggenheim museum is made of stone, glass and titanium. The architect is Frank Geary who never took his pen off the paper when designing the building.

Outside the museum there was a dog made out of flowers, these metal balloons and a metal spider.

When you walk inside you see amazing metal sculptures that twist and turn. The sculptures were made by artist Richard Serra. When you walk through the metal passages it makes you dizzy.
