On the picturesque shores of the old mill pond in Storebro, approximately 12 kilometres south of Vimmerby, stands the monument 'Visans Skepp' (Ship of Songs). Built between 1978 and 1988, this unique monument comprises 20 rune stones, ranging from 1.8 to 3.4 metres in height. Each stone bears inscriptions of 40 of Sweden's most beautiful songs from the 20th century, creating a harmonious celebration of the nation's musical heritage against the backdrop of Storebro's historic industrial landscape.
