Where renovated this museum is spectacular. But there are a lot of sections with dusty artifacts in poorly lit cases.

This museum was fantastic. I have been to many, many museums, but this one met all of my expectations. It went through the whole history of the island of Gotland from prehistory through the middle ages.

This museum is so much better than I anticipated.. The displays here are well laid out and informative. Loved seeing the Viking outfits, weapons, skulls and piles of looted treasure that's been rediscovered and dug up over the years. The runes are interesting too. Has a well stocked gift shop and cafe.

This museum was very informative. A lot of good historic info. Especially the silver stuff was interesting.

Great room of runes and viking rock pictures as well as artifacts from hoards found on the island and pieces from the midieval history of Visby. Very enjoyable place, curated in English as well as Swedish.

Excellent information about medieval visby. The silver is a wow. Good gift shop. Didn't have to see other sections.
