The Gotland Museum in central Visby offers a comprehensive journey through the island's past, from prehistoric times through the Viking Age and into the medieval Hanseatic period. Its standout collection includes the Spillings Hoard, the world's largest Viking silver treasure, weighing over 67 kilograms. Visitors also see picture stones, unique Gotlandic memorials from the 5th–11th centuries, and a recreated Viking-age farm. The museum's medieval section features artifacts from Visby's heyday, including weapons, coins, and church art. Hands-on displays and a children's area make it engaging for all ages.
