Conference dinner at the Vasa Museum
IRNOP's conference dinner will take place at the
Vasa Museum
, where we first will get an exciting tour around the Vasa ship. During this guided tour we will find out more about the ships very short and at the same time very long history. The museum's experienced guides will show us around the ship and tell us about the construction of the Vasa, the short sailing, the sinking, the salvage and how to preserve the ship for the future.
The evening also includes a short mingling in the ship's hall before or after the guided tour, and then we continue with dinner in the Vasa Museum's restaurant.
Address: Teknikringen 1, KTH Innovation, KTH Campus Stockholm
