Gotlands Museum Gotlands Museum No Data

Description


Housed in a collection of former merchants houses and warehouses the museum tells the history of Gotland as a physical island and of the people. There is a large display on Viking era rune stones before exhibitions on the Geology and formation of this part of the Baltic and then a large display on the history of Gotland in the middle ages, including the 1361 invasion by the Danes that saw control of the islands pass to Denmark for the next few centuries. The treasury houses a large number of hoards of Gotland and Viking coins and jewellery and the lower part of the museum takes you into the warehouse and cellars of the former merchants house that the museum resides in. The final part of the museum takes you through to the modern era, albeit stopping some point in the late 1980's and some very chunky computers.
