EXHIBITION IN THE COLD WATER CURE
Gribshunden can be seen in the Kallvattenkuren in Ronneby Brunnspark, together in an exhibition about Vång.
The exhibition depicts the stories that can be housed in a future museum.

Here you can, among other things, watch a film from the ongoing excavation of the wreck Gribshunden, which lies at a depth of 9 meters outside Saxemara in the Ronneby archipelago. Follow the divers' and researchers' search for details about the 15th-century ships that once changed the world.

As if it were a living being.

GRIBSHUNDEN
The find is the Danish King Hans' flagship, which sank to the depths with many of the king's valuables on board. The ship started burning about 520 years ago outside Ronneby, which was then a Danish city. The king himself was not on board but many perished.
Gribshunden was a ship with a construction technique that made it possible to travel around the world like Columbus did. The ship is approximately 35 meters long and twelve meters wide. A number of objects from the wreck have been salvaged and preserved, for example cannon floats, windlass, parts of chain mail, crossbow arrows and more. The oldest armed warship in the Nordics.
The wreck has been known since the 1970s but it was only in 2013 that it could be determined that it was indeed the Vulture.

GOLDEN GUYS IN VÄSTRA VANG
Sweden's 3rd largest find of golden old men. Some of the golden men have stamp identity with golden men and were associated with cult and power. Perhaps they were used as offerings. Gold spirals, cast heads in bronze, glass and Viking Age coins were also found in the treasure. Everything was found in 2013 at Västra Vångs village in central Blekinge.
Several of the objects found are likely to have been made in the Roman and Celtic cultural spheres and the coins from the previously discovered silver hoard are minted in many different
locations in Europe and as far away as the Middle East. This suggests that Blekinge has always been a good starting point for contacts across the Baltic Sea and further south.

In the premises there is also a project office where you as a visitor can follow the work on building a future museum in the city of Ronneby.
