Lonely Planet review

The highlight of the Kalmar Länsmuseum , in an old steam mill by the harbour, are finds from the 17th-century flagship Kronan . The ship exploded and sank just before a battle in 1676, with the loss of almost 800 men. It was rediscovered in 1980, and over 22,000 wonderfully preserved items have been excavated so far, including a spectacular gold hoard, clothing, musical instruments and cannon.
