    The Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, is located on the island of Djurgården and is famous for its collection of the 17th-century shipwreck "Vasa". As the only intact 17th-century warship in the world, the Vasa is equipped with 5 decks and 64 guns, with intricate and exquisite carvings on the hull and more than 700 Baroque-style sculptures that demonstrate its former glory. The museum also exhibits many salvaged cultural relics, and through rich exhibits and theme exhibitions, it vividly reproduces the shipbuilding technology, maritime culture and artistic style of Sweden at that time.

    Very beautiful palace. The package includes four exhibition halls. In addition to the main venue (Royal Residence), you can also visit three exhibition halls such as the Treasure Hall. There is a guard handover ceremony and band performance at 12:15 noon every day in summer on the Royal Palace Square. Although the scale of the Stockholm Royal Palace is not as large as the Palace of Versailles and Schönbrunn Palace. But its exquisiteness is no worse than that of the Palace of Versailles, and it does not charge money to use the toilet like the Palace of Versailles, and it is also not like the Schönbrunn Palace where you cannot take photos inside. In short, I think it is very cost-effective!

    一座不大,却极有力量的博物馆——写在斯德哥尔摩诺贝尔奖博物馆之后这是一座并不大的博物馆,但我必须坦白地说:它到处都是宝藏。这座博物馆最打动人的地方,并不在于规模,而在于它的用心设计。馆内珍藏的不是冷冰冰的奖杯,而是诺贝尔奖得主一生中极其私密、极其重要的物品——那些真正代表“为什么我会走到今天”的东西。导赏员非常细心,没有一味讲历史时间线,而是从几件“看起来很小”的物品切入:一把粉红色的雨伞,一支看似普通的原子笔。这些东西本身并不昂贵,但它们背后承载的,是得奖者的人生选择、坚持、失败与信念。那一刻你会明白:伟大,从来不是从宏大开始的。我真的被深深感动了。更让我开心的是,我抽时间带孩子一起参观,而他们全程被启发。参观结束后,他们竟然自发地把博物馆的学习 worksheets 全部认真完成,不是被要求,是被激发。作为一位妈妈,这种瞬间,比任何奖状都珍贵。当然,最后他们还领到了一枚“诺贝尔奖”——没错,是巧克力金牌🍫但你知道吗?他们拿到的时候,脸上的认真程度,仿佛真的站在颁奖台上。我想,这正是这座博物馆的魔力。它想告诉每一个孩子、每一位学生、也每一个大人: • 梦想没有统一模板 • 成就不是一蹴而就 • 93岁拿到诺贝尔奖,也一点都不迟如果你有梦想,如果你正在迷惘,如果你希望孩子被真正启发——请一定来这里走一走,来为自己,也为孩子,取一点灵感。世界不缺聪明的人,但永远需要——敢于坚持梦想的人。

    The Baltic Sea is very beautiful, and the water is particularly clear. We arrived here in the evening. There were not many people and it was a little cold, but the scenery was very good. It was also a very good scenery to enjoy the Baltic Sea under the sunset.

    Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, is a charming maze of cobblestone streets, colorful 17th- and 18th-century buildings, and hidden courtyards. Founded in the 13th century, it’s one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval centers. The area brims with history, from the grand Royal Palace to Storkyrkan Cathedral and the Nobel Prize Museum. Cozy cafés, artisan shops, and atmospheric alleyways make wandering here a delight. In winter, festive markets fill the main square, Stortorget, with lights and warmth. Whether you’re after culture, architecture, or a leisurely stroll, Gamla Stan offers a magical glimpse into Sweden’s past while buzzing with modern Scandinavian charm.

    I didn't stay in Sweden for long. I booked tickets in advance for visa application and went to see it. Compared with the royal palaces in other European countries, this one is relatively small and I don't know much about the history. I can only say that I had a quick look.

    I came here to buy a boat ticket to Finland tomorrow. I came from the old town and headed east along the shore. I arrived in a short while. Then I accidentally found this building interesting. There is a window for buying boat tickets on one end and a museum on the other. I checked and found that it is a photography museum, and it is a world-renowned museum. The photography museum mainly exhibits photographers and their works that have not received attention in Scandinavia for various reasons. Each season has a different theme and exhibits the works of photographers that match this theme. It is said that there will be four large-scale professional photography exhibitions in this venue every year. It’s a pity that I am a mobile phone addict. TIPS There is an open-air coffee bar on the top floor of the museum. This leisure moment by the canal in Stockholm is really not to be missed.
