Exhibitions

The exhibitions at Vrak will take you on an exciting journey through time. You will experience dramatic events hidden behind the world-unique cultural heritage that is preserved beneath the surface of the Baltic Sea. The sea and maritime archeology is always at the center of the depictions of historical events, people and the world.

The Assignment

What does a maritime archaeologist do? Put on our VR headset and try for yourself! In this part of our exhibitions you can dive without getting wet, while you get to examine and document a wreck in virtual reality. But a maritime archaeologist does not just work below the surface. In this exhibition you learn how to date and find out more about findings through research in archives.

Copper ships

Artist Borney Bergstrand creates works of art shaped by his experiences from various jobs at shipyards and as a pipelayer. He makes sculptures out of copper scrap and uses metal shears, hammers, welding equipment and other tools for his designs – a mix of rough craftsmanship and fine forging. Meet his ships on our stairs.
