Summary
Professor of art history Hendrik Cornell presents the beautiful sculpture garden and open-air museum Millesgården, on Lidingö Island near Stockholm, Sweden, built as a summer home by Swedish sculptor Carl Milles and his wife Olga Granner Milles. A visionary artist, Carl Milles saw the site as more than a home, as a work of art itself. The development of house and gardens bears witness to the never ceasing care of their creator, preserving the impressions and whims that came to his mind. The gardens are the work of the sculptor and his brother, architect Evert Milles. Carl was the source of ideas, with architectural ideas and planning by Evert.
