Gotlands Museum, Gotland, Sweden
4.5 (494 reviews) Monday: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent Ranking #3 in Visby Speciality Museums
Must see if visiting Visby
Wonderful archaeology museum. Well laid out, and you can spend as much or little time as you would like. This was a cruise ship stop for us and it was "something" to do while in port. We probably spent 2-1/2 to 3 hours there, much to our surprise.

Unexpectedly superb museum
This was an excellent museum, with sufficient information about the exhibits in English to really get a great look at the ethnographic and historical context for the island of Visby. Outstanding displayed rune stones and similar, great panoramic model of the growth. Interesting stories about medieval life here as well the era of the Hanseatic League’s impact. The city of Visby is very quaint and contains a ton of historic buildings, old walls, and this museum ties a bow on the experience

slightest interest in history
A marvelous museum. Larger than you'd expect and with well-designed displays, presenting Gotland's history from formation over 400 million years ago, to viking times, through the medieval period and on, showing vast arrays of remains and objects telling the story. Information is available in Swedish and English throughout the museum. Highly recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in history
