Great museum. Worth a visit if you have a day in Kalmar. I think they were pretty good about making it accessible for English and German speakers as well.

Well worth the trip allow at least a few hours to go through. The displays and signage were excellent. I had with me my husband who does not speak Swedish. And a history buff my sister. I would return again and again.

The centre of the museum is the exibition about the ship Kronan, with items from the wreck, films about it's excavation etc. I wish there was a little bit more about the town of Kalmar and it's history in the museum. Also, the entry price is a bit on the high side.The café is very nice, with good cakes.

This is a very nice facility. The museum is located on multiple floors, and each floor is dedicated, for the most part, to a different subject. Of course, the most interesting was the sunken ship that has been studied since the 1970s. It was very interesting to see the videos of the exploration and the "booty' they have recovered.

The museum has a very interesting exhibition about the Kronan warship that sank in the Baltic sea in 1676. Lots of info in English!

Had a great time at the Kronan exhibition! The story really came to life. The abundance of well preserved archaeological artefacts were very interesting to see! Well worth a visit!

A great museum but many things coming from an old ship.It is settled on 3 floors, you have an exhibition on pirats , one on the ship and some temporary exhibitions.You can see various things : clothes, treasure, guns, canons ...Interesting for the whole family.More objects than the Vasa but no ship to see

Great audio-visuals of the recovery of 'yet another wreck!'. Really interesting, real value for money.

Over 3-4 floors, this museum is on the harbour, close to First Hotel Witt, and costs around £6 to enter. The main exhibits centre on a ship that sunk in the 1600s, and is really excellent for both children and adults. Many of the exhibits are reproductions of spaces on the ship which are very atmospheric. There's lots of information in English and Swedish, and a small gift shop. Well worth a visit.

The Kronan ship wreck exhibit, dive finds and treasure was very good and a nice touch if you have kids is the pirate exhibit.

Excellent regional museum with friendly staff and very informative displays. I really enjoyed.

The exhibition about Kronan was very interesting - really how a modern museum should always be with original articles ("stuff"), reconstructions and film about the finding of the ship.And the café was very cosy.

Tittar oftast på Jenny Nyströmutställningen men även tillfälliga utställningar som man kan se utan att betala inträde när man fikar på kafe Kronan

Mycket intressant och lärorikt, vackra miljöer och en underbart fik som man inte får missa. Kan rekommendera Länsmuseet!
