After falling into obscurity, searches were launched and the ship was recovered in 1961. Today it is on display in a Stockholm museum and has become a symbol of Swedish history and military might in the 17th century.

The Victoria

The Victoria room’s design is inspired by Magellan’s journey around the world, with a subtle mix of Iberian and Asian decoration: red and saffron tones, dark wood furniture and a chaise longue, in short, a call to escape and reverie. It is located on the second floor with a view on the garden.

Mary Rose was a Tudor emblem and was part of the naval program of King Henry VIII of England. Having served for 33 years in several wars against France and Scotland and having been largely rebuilt in 1536, she fought for the last time on July 19, 1545. In her last fight, she sank in the Solent, the arm of sea separating England from the Isle of Wight opposite the castle of Sousthsea, in which was Henry VIII. The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971 and a rescue operation was organized in 1982. This, one of the most complex and expensive projects in the history of maritime archeology, made it possible to bail out a large section of the ship and thousands of objects dating back to the Tudor period.
