Face to Face --the men and women from the Vasa, (Vasa Museum, Stockholm, Sweden)








Those who died when the Vasa sank on August 10, 1682, are anonymous to us. But more than half of them survive as skeletal remains.

How can the skeletons bring us closer to the men and women from the Vasa? Who were they? How did they look? What had they experienced?

Many scientific disciplines has been consulted to get answers.

Sometimes there are no answers - just assumptions that can give wings to our imagination.
