The Joe Hill Museum in Gävle, Sweden, is dedicated to the life and legacy of Joe Hill, a prominent labor activist, songwriter, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Born Joel Emmanuel Hägglund in Gävle in 1879, Hill immigrated to the United States, where he became a key figure in the labor movement. The museum is housed in the building where Hill was born and offers a comprehensive look at his contributions to labor rights and his influence on protest music. Visitors can explore various exhibits, including personal artifacts, photographs, and documents that chronicle Hill's life from his early years in Sweden to his controversial execution in the United States in 1915.
