Kalmar Länsmuseum
The highlight of this fine museum, 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 and musical instruments.

Kalmar Sjöfartsmuseum
Aft and slightly to port of the county museum, Kalmar Sjöfartsmuseum houses an eccentric maritime collection, with bottled ships, foghorns and things made out of knots and armadillos.
