	The climate of the Vasa Museum - problems in coordinating the museum object and the museum climate.
		As the Vasa museum was predestinated to become a major monumental building the Government decided that the construction of a permanent Vasa museum was to be preceeded by an architects competition.
		Construction of a permanent museum building was on the agenda of the Board of the Vasa that was the organization responsible for the Vasa project during the years 1959 until the 30th of June 1964.
		Because the new Vasa museum was constructed with the main part of an old drydock inside the building it was possible to move the whole floating pontoon with the Vasa hull inside the temporary protection encasement into the museum (figure 5).

		The VASA was one of the large warships built by Swedish King Gustavus II Adolphus.
		When the ship left the shelter of the inner harbour of Stockholm, she approached the island of Beckholmen where she was struck by a powerful gust of wind, capsized and sank after a voyage of only 1300 meters.
		The VASA was probably laid down as a "small" ship and completed as a "large" ship, with two gun decks instead of only one as originally planned.

		Alongside the Vasa is a complete boat salvaged with the Vasa and exhibited on her port side.
		From her salvage until 1990, the Vasa was temporarily housed in a basic aluminum building – a building which slowly rusted from the 98% humidity of the continuous water spray used to prevent the Vasa’s timbers from disintegrating.
		But nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to a visit to the Vasa on the waterway in her dimly but dramatically lit museet, her masts breaking through the ceiling and reaching thrillingly heavenward in an urge, a thrust to a glorious destiny on the seas.

	Innovations: The Fate of Copper Released from the Vasa Ship Museum
		It was therefore natural that the new museum for the 17th century war ship Vasa got a roof of copper in 1990.
		The corrosion products that are released from the Vasa museum roof can be estimated to be 0.15 mm/year, or 1.3 g/year, or 0.025% of the sheet metal thickness.
		The roof of the Vasa ship museum has hardly given any bioactive copper (ions) to the ground or, more importantly, the sea, around the building during its first 6 years.
