This is the Swedish warship Vasa. It sank in 1628 and was recovered from the ocean in 1961, almost completely intact. This is the only remaining intact ship from the 1600’s. This ship is housed in The Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.

Dear Lord, I thought at first it was a miniature. Nope.

OMG how can you post the Vasa without saying the reason it’s so in tact is that it’s so ridiculously badly designed that it sank immediately after setting sail for the first time???

The Sweden Solar System is the world’s largest permanent scale model of the Solar System. The Sun is represented by the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, the largest hemispherical building in the world. The inner planets can also be found in Stockholm but the outer planets are situated northward in other cities along the Baltic Sea. The system was started by Nils Brenning and Gösta Gahm and is on the scale of 1:20 million.

The news almost reads like an Onion headline: Sweden, the country, has got its very own telephone number. And you can call it anytime you like to chat with a random Swede about, well, anything really. The quirky announcement is the work of the Swedish Tourist Association, which has created the number as a 250th anniversary tribute to the country’s abolishment of censorship. It’s an initiative designed to highlight the country’s commitment to freedom of expression in a time when, according to the tourism board’s CEO Magnus Ling, “many countries try to limit communication between people.” But before you open the dialer on your cellphone, be aware that the call is not toll-free and you will be charged international rates…

Slussen plan C,  Project Building in Stockholm, Sweden

“Over the last couple of years, great resources have been spent to come up with a plan for the future of the Slussen area in central Stockholm. Despite the efforts, the citizens of Stockholm have not yet been offered the solution they deserve. This is why we have developed Slussen Plan C, that combines form and function and gently pushes Slussen into the future.

An elegant steel construction embraces and extends the existing cloverleaf interchange. The different parts of Slussen are connected by heated pedestrian walkways and intermingled with the light organic shapes are observation decks, cafes and a two lane tunnel.”
