good

[jipp05, 04/01/2011] The Vasa museum in Stockholm was one of the sights that I was most looking forward to visiting on my trip to the city.

We are told that the "sheer size of this cannon-laden hulk" tends to "inspires awe and fear in equal measure." The article concludes by giving opening times and admission costs for this attraction.
