Västervik Museum

Discover the beautiful tjustökor boats, built using the UNESCO-recognized clinker technique. Dive into shipwrecks with modern technology and explore the intrigue-filled world of the Vasa dynasty, surrounded by ships, cannons, and sea battles. Step into a portal to the past at Västervik Museum.

The museum grounds feature a lookout tower, a collection of traditional boats, the sailor’s cottage Vrå with its barn and loft storehouse, the small Fågeltorpet cottage, and a blacksmith’s forge. The lovely green space invites play, adventure, and cultural experiences. From Kulbacken, you’ll enjoy a stunning view over the town of Västervik, the Stegeholm castle ruins, and the inlet of Gamlebyviken.
