Millesgården - a work of art in its own right. - 3

# 04, April 2012

Carl Milles (1875-1955) was a Swedish sculptor, best known for his fountains.

Millesgården can be termed a work of art in its own right, a nicely balanced stage design of terraces, fountains, stairways, sculptures and columns, coupled with a diversity of vegetation and an immense vista across the waters of Värtan from the rocky heights of Herserud. 

It was in 1906 that the sculptor Carl Milles bought a plot of land on the island of Lidingö, and in 1908 he had a house and a studio built there. Carl and Olga remained in this lovely home until 1931. A magnificent donation by Carl and Olga Milles established, in 1936, the Carl and Olga Milles Lidingöhem Foundation.  Millesgården was first opened for the general public in the closing years of the 1930s. 

Millesgården  is still run by the foundation, which includes representatives of the Swedish Government and the Municipality of Lidingö. This unique setting, one of Sweden?s foremost tourist attractions, welcomes thousands of visitors every year. It is open all the year round and the intention is for the museum, aided by exhibitions and activities of various kinds, to continue in the visionary spirit of Carl Milles himself. ...
