About This Museum

People come to Gotland Museum for one reason: to stand face-to-face with the island's incredible Viking and medieval past, and it absolutely delivers. You'll find yourself completely captivated by the intricate spirals and animals carved into massive picture stones that tell ancient stories. The collection is so tangible, filled with things actually dug up from local soil, like heavy silver neck rings and delicate brooches that real Vikings wore. It’s the kind of place that doesn't just show you history, it makes you feel it all around you.
